the software.channel.cloneErrata doesn't actually add packages to the channels when they are cloned.
fixed in rev 135809.
Fails QA. My test: ./test_errata.clone_errata.pl --host rhndev5.z900.redhat.com --user bdperkin --password redhat --channel apiia32channelsoftware1201055234520 --advisoryid RHBA-2008:0026 The errata was cloned as advisory_name = CLA-2008:0026, but there were no packages in the channel.
Brandon, Were there any packages in the channel beforehand? I have heard many customer complaints in the past couple of years about errata cloning methods in satellite pushing packages into channels that weren't in there before. (when i rewrote the channel management errata add page I fixed this!) So errata should only be added to the channel if they have a package of the same name with the same arch already in the channel.
Test Plan: Create a custom channel for RHEL 4 i386. Clone a kernel errata into the channel. Expected results: Only the "kernel" package from the errata should be published to the channel. Kernel-smp (or any other package) should not.
Verified.
