Hi folks,

As some of you may have noticed the format of the centos-announce
messages has changed, thus breaking my script that creates errata for
them (http://www.bioss.ac.uk/staff/davidn/spacewalk-stuff/)

I am working on a fix but unfortunately the changes required are
fairly involved so it may be a day or two before I have a release
ready and tested. Apologies for any inconvenience you may experience
in the meantime.

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,


hi david,

excellent work - have just downloaded and updated, and all seems to be working well again, thanks for your efforts.

i noticed there is a new requirement for python-lxml, which we didn't have installed, but all is now back up and running.

thanks again,

richard
