Not sure why it shows very less to me.

Ive downloaded the “errata.latest.xml” from the below link

wget -N http://cefs.steve-meier.de/errata.latest.xml

Is this the right link ?

Is it possible test for other repos like " CentOS 7 Extras, CentOS 7 OpsTools, CentOS 7 Updates"

[root@xxx repodata]# grep “” /tmp/updateinfo-7/updateinfo.xml| wc -l

[root@xxx repodata]#

[root@xxx tmp]# grep “<os_release>7</os_release>” errata.latest.xml| wc -l
71
[root@xxx tmp]#

[root@xxx repodata]# zgrep “<update” /var/www/html/pub/centos-erratas/7/repodata/56bbf19ec024e230299204bf25de353631231a238afc26e25e744c65e69c4e9e-updateinfo.xml.gz | wc -l

[root@xxx repodata]#

What you see is what you get. It will work until CentOS 7 is unsupported in 2024 then RIP.

Hey folks,

I’m glad you got this working, but following along has been a bit confusing.

Is it possible to post a script that we could run on the Katello server to get CentOS 7 errat working?

Ever grateful!~

The thread contains all you need. Using the script at GitHub - vmfarms/generate_updateinfo, create a local repo to push that data into and then sync that repo to Foreman. Since there are so many steps, it is not like one script will do all that…
