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.

  #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

  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.
