Description Pavel Studeník 2016-12-14 19:27:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
I would like to remove more channels than one by only command spacewalk-remove-channel. For example I have many old Fedora's channels and I want to remove all fedora1* (fedora18, fedora17,...). Now, I need to write new API script or use cycle in bash for spacewalk-remove-channel.

I think that good way to use "Unix filename pattern matching", that accepts

* 	matches everything
? 	matches any single character
[seq] 	matches any character in seq
[!seq] 	matches any character not in seq

https://docs.python.org/2/library/fnmatch.html

Actual results:
>> spacewalk-remove-channel -a fedora1*

Expected results:
>> spacewalk-remove-channel -a fedora1*
