Description Martin Korbel 2014-11-06 09:08:29 UTC

Description of problem:
When we try to clone a channel using spacewalk-clone-by-date, we get empty directory in the working folder. The folder has same name as a source channel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat 5.7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. We have got Satellite 5.7 with synced rhel-x86_64-server-7 and rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7 channels.

2. Delete the empty folders, if they are present in current working folder.
> ls -d rhel-x86_64-server-7 && rmdir rhel-x86_64-server-7
> ls -d rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7 && rmdir rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7
3. We try to clone these channels.
> spacewalk-clone-by-date -u admin -p xxx --to_date=2014-07-21 --channel rhel-x86_64-server-7 clone-rhel-x86_64-server-7 --channel rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7 clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7
Reading repository information.
Using issue_date.

By continuing the following channels will be created: 
clone-rhel-x86_64-server-7, clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7

Continue with channel creation (y/n)?y

Cloning rhel-x86_64-server-7 to clone-rhel-x86_64-server-7 with original package set.
Cloning rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7 to clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-7 with original package set.
Copying repodata, please wait.

3. Check, if the empty directories are not present in the current working folder.
