Looks like we should just remove that sentence. Sentence removed in the latest (5.3.0) build of the Channel Management Guide here: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3.0/html/Channel_Management_Guide/Channel_Management_Guide-Uploading_and_Maintaining_Custom_Packages-Uploading_Packages_to_SAT.html#Channel_Management_Guide-Uploading_Packages_to_SAT-Configuring_the_RHNPUSHApplication Verified. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2009-1434.html |
Description of problem: Channel Management Guide (Both Satellite Edition 5.2.0 and 5.1.0) says ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.2.1. Configuring the RHN Push Application When RHN Push is installed, a central configuration file is installed in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnpushrc... In addition, the application creates ~/.rhnpushrc and ./.rhnpushrc upon its initial use. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but it does not look true. As far as I tested, rhnpush does not create configuration files upon its initial use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Network Satellite 5.2, Channel Management Guide, Red Hat Network Satellite, Edition 5.2 As far as I confirmed, both rhnpush-5.2.0-1 (latest) and git HEAD in spacewalk don't write configuration automatically at all. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rhnpush and run it 2. 3. Actual results: rhnpush does not create configuration files on initial startup. Expected results: rhnpush creates configurations as the doc said. Additional info: It seems that both rhnpush in Satellite and Spacewalk have a method to write configuration files but it never called. e.g. ConfManager._write_config_file() in spacewalk/client/tools/rhnpush/rhnpush_confmanager.py But I don't think it's a bug of rhnpush nor expected behavior. So, I file it as a documentation error.
