Description Peter Gervase 2012-09-25 21:54:11 UTC
Created attachment 617277 [details]
patch to add information to the man page

Description of problem:
The documentation on what spacewalk-clone-by-date exactly does (and doesn't do) is a bit lacking. 

The man page starts off with, 
"       Script to clone software channels and errata up to specific dates ensuring any added packages have their dependencies satisfied. Any destination channels
       that do not exist will be created.
"
but doesn't go into much detail or talk about cloning errata.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-utils-1.7.15-37.el6sat.noarch


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the spacewalk-utils package
2. man spacewalk-clone-by-date
3.
  
Actual results:
See a man page with more detail

Expected results:
The man page doesn't have enough detail.
