Description Grant Gainey 2016-08-11 17:26:27 UTC 
Because spacewalk-clone-by-date involves a number of heuristics for insuring dependency-complete channels, its results can be surprising to the end user. In addition, the tool logs a lot of useful information to its logfile - which is not documented anywhere. We should enhance the command-line output and manpage for the tool to make more clear what has happened and where to look for details.

Comment 3 Grant Gainey 2016-08-12 17:59:23 UTC 
* Cleaned up output found in /var/log/rhn/errata-clone.log to make the sequence a little clearer

* Added summery output at the command line:

* Updated the spacewalk-clone-by-date man page to include a "LOG OUTPUT" section
Comment 5 Jan Hutař 2016-08-18 07:18:05 UTC 
In man page we say log file is /var/log/rhn/errata_clone.log, but actually it is /var/log/rhn/errata-clone.log. Do we want to respin packages for this, or should I just create new bug for that?
Comment 6 Jan Hutař 2016-08-18 08:10:05 UTC 
Otherwise sanity seems to be good. Patch itself seems good as well.
Comment 7 Tomas Lestach 2016-08-18 08:29:21 UTC 
According to git, this inconsistency has been introduced in commit mentioned in Comment#1. Let's fix it. :-)
