Feature changed by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Feature #309483, revision 11 Title: Create Spacewalk compliance openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Description: We are currently lacking some free solution to manage servers / clients. Red Hats Spacewalk ( http://www.redhat.com/spacewalk/ ) provides their enterprise solution to that problem. Please make [open]SUSE compatible with Spacewalk so it will be possible to manage it together with Red Hats products so it evolves to a one stop solution to manage linux products within an enterprise enviroment regardless of the vendor. Discussion: #1: Alberto Passalacqua (greengeeko) (2010-05-11 05:08:58) I see this can be useful for SLE, but openSUSE has a different target in my opinion, so I voted against this. #2: Per Jessen (pjessen) (2010-05-11 19:17:01) Presumably Spacewalk has some kind of plugin mechanism for making it work with different architectures/systems - writing such a plugin might be a better approach. #3: Marcus Moeller (marcusmoeller) (2010-05-16 09:39:22) Spacewalk Client packages are already available for: openSUSE 11.0 and SLE 10 http://www.mail-archive.com/spacewalk-list@redhat.com/msg03079.html Best Regards Marcus #4: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2010-05-18 01:15:47) Are you aware that Spacewalk, even being free, requires Oracle right? + #5: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) (2010-05-18 01:40:59) (reply to #4) + Sure, but: + 1) there's an "Oracle Express Edition" which is free to use (correct me + if I'm wrong on that). + 2) there's ongoing work to make it compatible with PostgreSQL. + So, if we make [open]SUSE compatible with it until PostgreSQL support + is done I'm fine. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309483
