Description Daniel Mach 2010-04-26 17:55:50 UTC 
RCM has to insert KS trees data directly into the database on webqa and ask IT to do in on stage and prod.

Is it feasible to add an xml-rpc API?

This is how I imagine the workflow:
1) RCM stages files for KS trees
2) IT synces files to RHN under /pub/rhn/kickstart
3) RCM updates db by calling a rpc method (arguments similar to add-kstree.pl's arguments)

Sorry, should have added more details. There is a tool in rhn-content-mgmt that implements this functionality called rhn-manage-ks-tree.
