Hi folks,

Been using RHN Satellite for several years now - and got the grey hairs
to prove it!

With the open sourcing of the code, it would be an idea to allow
Spacewalk to become completely package agnostic.

Theory (albeit mine) says there's very little about Spacewalk that is
tied to using RPM files for distribution.  If DEB file, tgz or others
could be used, this would open up a whole new range of interested
parties to the development table.

After all, a package is surely just an object to the database.  An
Errata "just" links to one or more packages etc.

Package deployments could be carried out in an agnostic manner such that
the client (perhaps) chooses the right module to use for
download/installation/upgrade/removal etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Duncan
