Re: [Spacewalk-list] updating a client from outside spacewalk

2012-02-08 Thread Ege Turgay
I think you need to make sure rhn_plugin is enabled on yum

ie. yum-rhn-plugin-1.6.16-1.el5
and it's enabled in
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf

if you update the package by using "rpm", I think you need to refresh
the package list by selecting one or more systems and
System Set Manager -> Update Software profile

as it states in the same page "If you've changed hardware on your system
or have manually installed RPMs, and those changes are not appearing on
Spacewalk, you need to schedule a profile update."

[Spacewalk-list] advanced search now showing installed package

2012-02-08 Thread Ege Turgay
Hi,

I have a system with an installed package that I can see via going to
the system and select "List installed packages" and filter by package
name would give me "php-5.2" whereas 
if I go to Advanced Search and look for this in installed packages, it
would produce no results, basically I'm trying to get a list of the
systems that have this package rather than going one by one.

I would file a bug report for this however I know that specific package
is *not* in any of the software channels and I was wondering if this
would be the cause of that not showing up in advanced search.

Could someone confirm that this is not intentional and require a bug
filing?

Cheers,
Ege

Re: [Spacewalk-list] centos-errata.py & package_dir value

2012-02-08 Thread Ege Turgay
Hi,

I use a local repo by setting up a cronjob as

rsync -avrt --progress
rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/5/os/x86_64/ 
/var/www/html/repos/centos/5/os/x86_64/

and setting that package_dir to /var/www/html/repos/centos/5/os/x86_64/

Hope it helps,

Ege
