spacewalk bump channels

After some fooling around with spacecmd I wrote a small script to help me make versioned snapshots of channels. The idea is that you take a snapshot of your channel once in a while and then decide their state. This allows you to simply maintain a DTAP setup where the source channel is always the bleeding edge.

svn rpm autobuild

To aid in the demonstration of integrating development environment with software repositories like yum, spacewalk, etc. I've create a set of scripts to generate rpms from subversion commits. Read More...

spacewalk create channel

A cool spacewalk tool now available on the redhat satellite is “spacewalk-create-channel” hidden in the “spacewalk-remote-utils” package. This allows you to create distribution specific channels like this:

yum -y install spacewalk-remote-utils
then to create a redhat 4 update 9 64 bits channel you execute:

spacewalk-create-channel --user USERNAME -v 4 -r AS -a x86_64 -u U9 --destChannel foo-rh-x86_64-4u9 -c rhel-x86_64-as-4 -s $(uname -n)
