Description John Wregglesworth 2005-10-13 17:31:03 UTC
Description of problem: The rhn-satellite-exporter tool needs a --no-errata
tool, which will prevent errata information from being placed in a satellite export.

Comment 1 John Wregglesworth 2005-11-14 16:23:50 UTC
Test Plan:

1. Export a channel with rhn-satellite-exporter while using the --no-errata
option. I would create a new directory for this dump to avoid confusion when
examining the  dump directory. Also, make sure that the channel you are
exporting actually has some errata in it.

      rhn-satellite-exporter --dir=test-exports -crhel-i386-as-4 --no-errata

2. Watch the output from the above command and make sure that it doesn't say
that it is exporting errata.

3. ls the directory you included with the --dir option and make sure that the
errata directory is not included. For example:

[root@fjs-0-05 ~]# ls test3/
arches/  blacklists/  channel_families/  channels/  kickstart_files/ 
kickstart_trees/  packages/  packages_short/  rpms/

Comment 2 Fanny Augustin 2005-11-22 17:43:27 UTC
The tool is broken.  Please see the two tracebacks below:


[root@rlx-3-14 ~]# rhn-satellite-exporter --channel=rhel-i386-as-4 --dir=myexports
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rhn-satellite-exporter", line 5, in ?
    from satellite_tools.intersat_sync import iss
  File "/usr/share/rhn/satellite_tools/intersat_sync/iss.py", line 8, in ?
    import dumper
  File "/usr/share/rhn/satellite_tools/intersat_sync/dumper.py", line 20, in ?
    from string_buffer import StringBuffer
ImportError: No module named string_buffer


[root@rlx-3-14 ~]# rhn-satellite-exporter --help

Comment 3 John Wregglesworth 2005-11-29 17:46:06 UTC
The reason it failed was because I missed a file in the Makefile and spec file.
string_buffer.py has been added and the rhns packages rebuilt. The changes are
in the 4.0.5-28 or later rhns-satellite-tools package.

Comment 4 Fanny Augustin 2005-12-05 20:53:22 UTC
Looks good on QA

Comment 5 Todd Warner 2006-01-25 05:42:19 UTC
Released.
