In addition to the Merge option, previously cloned errata contain values within the
Owned Errata column. The erratum label is linked to its details page. The pub and
mod flags within parentheses identify whether the cloned erratum has been published
or modified from the original advisory. A plus sign + before the flag indicates affir-
mative, the cloned errata has been published. A minus sign - before the flag denotes
negative. For example, (-mod) may mean a package has been deleted. To find out
more about publishing and editing custom errata, refer to Section 5.1 Manage Errata.
To exclude errata from the cloned channel, select Do Nothing from their dropdown
menus. When satisfied with the changes, click Clone Errata. Review the impending
changes on the confirmation page and click Update Errata.
Packages — Provides the packages associated with each of your custom channels. This
•
tab contains subtabs that allow you to view, add, and remove packages: List/Remove,
Add, and Compare.
List/Remove — Displays all of the packages currently associated with the custom
•
channel and provides a means to cancel that association. To remove packages from
the channel, select their checkboxes and click Remove Packages on the bottom right-
hand corner of the page. A confirmation page appears with the packages to be removed
listed. Click Confirm to complete the action.
Important
This list differs from the package list available through the standard Software
Channel Details page in that it displays all versions of a package remaining in the
database, rather than just the latest. You may revert to a previous version of a
package simply by removing the latest version.
Add — Enables the addition of packages to the channel. To see available packages,
•
select an option from the View dropdown menu and click View. To add packages to
the channel you are editing, select the appropriate checkboxes and click Add Pack-
ages. Refer to Section 4.6 Assigning Packages to Software Channels for a discussion
of this process.
Compare — Enables the comparison of package lists between different channels. To
•
see the differences, select another channel from the Compare to: dropdown menu and
click Compare. A list appears showing all packages not contained by both channels
and indicating the existing channel location of each.
