Hi,

I'd like to request the inclusion of the upstream rhnlib package into CentOS. Even though RHN in itself does not work if you have no entitlement, mrepo uses rhnlib python modules to archive updates from RHN for RHEL.

Without rhnlib, CentOS cannot be used to set up an internal RHN mirror for RHEL packages using mrepo. And I know of people that do (and need to manually copy an rhnlib package from RHEL).

you can just use reposync with centos5 and the yum-rhn-plugin to do the same things that rhnget in mrepo does.
