Description Tomáš Kašpárek 2017-04-27 09:52:19 UTC

Description of problem:
Channel selection of channels to sync can be improved, for example we can add following:
option to sync to all child channels of given base channel
support of wildcard characters - example: I want to sync all rhel base channels so I would just enter cdn-sync -c rhel-x86_64-server-? which would lead for rhel 5, 6, 7 to sync

Comment 1 Pavel Studeník 2017-04-27 10:48:22 UTC

This module fnmatch[1] is really good for the issue. I used it in bz1404841.

* 	matches everything
? 	matches any single character
[seq] 	matches any character in seq
[!seq] 	matches any character not in seq

Hi, I have created similar patch for inter satellite sync (satellite-sync).

Comment 6 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-17 10:46:13 UTC

1) I want to sync all rhel base channels 

>> cdn-sync -c rhel-x86_64-server-? --no-package --no-errata --no-rpms --no-kickstart

It works good.

2) Option to sync to all child channels of given base channel

This feature is missing. Can I create new bug for it?

Comment 8 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-19 14:45:34 UTC
