Hello,
In working with your system for updating of Linux systems, I find it
very useful, and I was curious if there is a possibility for supporting
FreeBSD?
Hi Jason,
It is potentially yes, for the future, but unlikely.
- Unlikely, mainly due to the fact I doubt there is a large interest
in this from the current community of developers working on Spacewalk.
If I remember correctly [1] FreeBSD uses something similar to Solaris
packages, so in theory, our support for Solaris could be used as an
example implementation path.
We can do Debian .deb, Solaris patches, patchcluster & packages, RPM
based distro's such as Fedora, CentOS, OpenSuse.
- So, there is a good chance if a member of the FreeBSD community
wanted to dedicate cycles to providing patches for FreeBSD, we will
review those patches and give pointers.
Typically the client side pieces are likely to present the most
challenges. We mostly know how to add a new package type into the
Spacewalk code.
Regards,
Cliff
[1] - I last installed and used FreeBSD 10 years ago.
I would be happy to provide any information you may need to answer this
question, as well.
Thanks very much,
Jason
