pulp_centos_errata_import

Imports CentOS (from http://cefs.steve-meier.de/) errata into pulp

This script imports CentOS Errata into Katello It relies on preformatted information since parsing email is the road to madness...

To run this script on CentOS you need:

• pulp-admin-client
• pulp-rpm-admin-extensions
• perl-Switch
• perl-XML-Simple
• perl-Text-Unidecode
• perl-Frontier-RPC

This script was modified from Steve Meier's script for spacewalk which can be found at http://cefs.steve-meier.de/

Usage

1. Sync repositories
2. Run the script
   wget -N http://cefs.steve-meier.de/errata.latest.xml
   ./errata_import.pl --errata=errata.latest.xml --user=[admin] --password=[pass]
3. Sync repositories so that errata is published. (The errata will not show up on the Katello/Foreman interface until this step is completed. )

Warning

• I offer no garantees that this script will work for you. It is offered as is!
• I have no previews experience with perl, so this script will probably look horrific to anyone familiar with the language.
