Auto-replying to myself, will perhaps be useful for somebody …

There is actually an existing script here https://github.com/stevemeier/cefs/blob/master/errata-wipe.pl to erase the erratas.

I have adapted it to only remove the erratas from the repos I am interested in, and all good, it does exactly what I wanted.

@uyuni team: What is the plan regarding the management of the erratas for CentOS + DEB OS families ? The scripts from Steve Meier/Philicious and Robert Paschedag

are pretty efficient but needs to be adapted and maintained. Possible to have a new repository attached to the Uyuni project with the erratas scripts ?

Regards,

Philippe.

Subject: Removal of Ubuntu erratas in Uyuni

Hi all,

I have noticed that the CVE ID were truncated, importing them from the philicious script (https://github.com/philicious/spacewalk-scripts/blob/master/errata-import.py)

Truncated because of the regexp limitation “CVE = "(?P<cve>CVE-\d{4}-\d{4})".

I have modified it to accept 5 digits ( CVE = "(?P<cve>CVE-\d{4}-\d{5} ), but to be able to import them again, I would need to remove all the erratas from the Ubuntu repositories.

Is there an easy way to do it ?

Regards,

Philippe.
