On schema updater I thought I did a rename .... Oh well lemme delete the
one in java/scripts ...

Totally agree that spacewalk-schema-upgrade is the way to upgrade the
thing officially.. Well schema-updater is just for more fine grained
stuff.. Like Upgrade scripts starting from specific number and above.. 
Its useful only during devel phases as devs keep adding one table at a 
time...

But sounds like the same can be achieved as Jan says  by creating a 
directory and symlinking exactly the files you want updated (me doesn't 
think straighforwardly like that unfortunately :( ).

So every one use the official one the one under schema upgrade directory 
as its more robust.. Jan is there documentation on the usage :)..
