Description James Bowes 2008-03-18 13:25:48 UTC

the rhn-manage-channel-internal tool will throw an error if you lookup the
details of a channel that does not have a description. Server side should know
this is possible, and send back an empty string instead of trying to send None

Comment 1 James Bowes 2008-03-18 15:53:40 UTC

To test:
use rhn-manage-channel-internal --list to display a channel that does't have a
description, ie:

rhn-manage-channel-internal --server dev --list --label rhel-i386-as-3

This command should succeed, not ISE

Comment 2 Amy Owens 2008-03-18 16:24:33 UTC

On DEV OK --
tried rhn-manage-channel-internal --server dev --list --label rhel-i386-as-3
and one with description: rhn-manage-channel-internal --server dev --list
--label rhel-i386-server-5

all set on qa
