Hi folks, A new release is now available (finally): http://www.bioss.ac.uk/staff/davidn/spacewalk-stuff/ Due to format changes in the centos-announce mailing lists, the parsing logic has been completely rewritten. It's still horrible though :) Also, you will now have to use the "dir" package search strategy as the other two strategies "spacewalk" and "satellitedir" both rely on obtaining the md5sum from the centos-announce mailings. Since upstream now sends sha256 checksums these techniques can't work. I note with interest various discussions on the CentOS lists about making errata available in a more useful form. Hopefully my script won't be required for too much longer. Regards, -- David Nutter Tel: +44 (0)131 650 4888 BioSS, JCMB, King's Buildings, Mayfield Rd, EH9 3JZ.
