I haven't forgotten about this topic, but I am still at a loss for
direction toward a solution. I can use the RHN API to pull in a lot
of information about RHEL channels and such, but there are 400+
channels in RHN, and virtually no metadata. I suppose the metadata
could somehow be derived, but that is a moving target.
I want to understand the total process before we dive in and try to
solve the problem. Right now the problem from what I understand is:
Does an RHN channel already provide file : /usr/lib/foo ?
Are there other problems to tackle here? What about obsoleting an
EL/RHN package? Is that bad?
