Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk migration
Well. Spacewalk performs little bit better in my fedora testing enviroment. But its true. Can be caused by newer version of spacewalk. Thanks for this point.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk client packages for openSuse, Mandriva and SLE
I'm have been working for some time, to make Spacewalk packages for openSUSE, and yesterday I finally manage to build 4 basic packages: rhnlib yum-rhn-plugin rhn-client-tools rhnsd As side effect I build it for SLE and Mandriva. The repositories are: openSUSE 11.0 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://xsuchy/openSUSE_11.0 Mandriva 2009.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://xsuchy/Mandriva_2009.1 SLE 10 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://xsuchy/SLE_10 Should I say it is highly experimental and far from production ready? No, you know it. I even did not test it yet! I even have no plans to test Mandriva and SLE version, just openSUSE if I find some time. Packages are not in recent version, some are even git snapshots. It is really very early release. If you are willing to test it, I will welcome your feedback. Currently should be possible to register those systems to Spacewalk and install packages Spacewalk. If I find some spare time, I will try to build other client packages. And before you ask, if I can add repository for: - Mandriva 2010.1 - just today release, I may add it in few days - openSuse 11.1 or SLE11 - no, they do not contain yum, so yum-rhn-plugin could not be build and installed -- Miroslav Suchy Red Hat Satellite Engineering ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
