Are you suggesting that I write in the functionality directly into Current
to download rpms from RHN or I write the functionality to do this from
the Current server. My goal is to get all the errata from RHN in a fast
and reliable way to add to the Current server database, not to just have
the ability to download all the rpms to a client from the Current
server.
