The spacewalk-clone-by-date command clones base channel when cloning child channel with configuration file option.

Issue

• When cloning child channel only spacewalk-clone-by-date command also clones parent channel when using configuration file,

  • Command,

  # spacewalk-clone-by-date -c /root/sample-config.txt 
  

  • Sample Configuration file,

  {
   "username":"testadmin",
   "password":"testpassword",
   "assumeyes":false,
   "to_date": "2013-05-31",
   "skip_depsolve":false,
   "security_only":false,
   "blacklist": {
            },
   "removelist": {
            },
   "channels":[
           {
              "rhel-x86_64-server-6": "clone-rhel-x86_64-server-6",
              "rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6": "testing-clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6"
           }
         ]
  }
  

  • Instead of cloning erratas to testing-clone-rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6 channel command clones parent channel clone-rhel-x86_64-server-6 too.
