I added the dependency on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912205 since, the script will break if the that bug is not fixed.

This needed two small patches to get it going:

http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/1826
http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/1827

but even then, I couldn't get it to successfully sync from production Beaker to beaker-devel. It spends a *really* long time grabbing all the task info from the source, and if something goes wrong like this (I assume a network glitch):

Getting the list of tasks from source and destination..
Finding tasks to upload to destination..
XML-RPC connection to beaker.engineering.redhat.com failed: Connection reset by peer, 5 retries left
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/beaker-sync-tasks", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('bkr.server==0.11.3', 'console_scripts', 'beaker-sync-tasks')()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bkr/server/tools/sync_tasks.py", line 303, in main
    task_urls = task_sync.tasks_diff(new_tasks, old_tasks)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bkr/server/tools/sync_tasks.py", line 152, in tasks_diff
    task_xml = pool.map(self._get_task_xml, new_tasks)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 148, in map
    return self.map_async(func, iterable, chunksize).get()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 422, in get
    raise self._value
xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for XXX: -1 >

then the whole process fails.

I think it needs to do each task incrementally instead. Something along these lines:

* get list of all tasks in source
* for each task in source:
    * print which task it is doing
    * get task info from source
    * get task info from destination
    * if versions don't match, upload from source to destination
