[uyuni-users] New repository URLs for Uyuni Master/Develop Server and Proxy
by Julio Gonzalez 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi everyone. The URLs for Uyuni Master (AKA Develop), Server and Proxy are now as follows: Server: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Master… Proxy: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Master… The reason for this change is that we plan to replicate this for Stable as well, so in the future changing the Uyuni version will not affect the repositories. I repeat, because this is important: this change does NOT affect Stable for now. When the time comes, we will warn about it at the mailing lists, and at the release notes (change does not affect Client Tools neither for Master/Develop or Stable, and will never affect them). # NEW INSTALLATIONS The website is now updated, so if you install a new Uyuni Master environment, you will be using the new URLs. # EXISTING INSTALLATIONS For existing installations, remember: those are NOT intended for production, and updating is NOT supported. Still, if you want to do things on your own then, at the server: 1. Update your `.repo` file for the server with the new URL. 2. Update at least `spacewalk-utils` package 3. Use `spacewalk-common-channels` to add the channels you need: uyuni-proxy- devel (and uyuni-server-devel if for some reason you already have the previous one). 4. If you don't need the previous channels, remove them: uyuni-proxy-devel- leap-151 (and uyuni-server-devel-leap-151 if for some reason you have it). Remember to remove the repositories as well. Best regards. -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

by Julio Gonzalez 18 Oct '19

Hi all, We are now starting a PoC to consider moving our IRC channel at Freenode to Gitter. So as part of the PoC, our Gitter is now available at: https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/ Among other benefits, Gitter provides provide: - Rich text and files (and an easier way for people to provide commands, logs, etc). - Notifications - History (without bouncers). - Easy linking to GitHub issues. It also as an IRC gateway, for those that want to use an IRC client: https://irc.gitter.im/ We invite you all to join, and give it a try during the next two weeks. Meanwhile, we will be collecting feedback from you at Gitter, IRC and the uyuni-devel and uyuni-users mailing lists [1] With the experience and the feedback, we will decide in two weeks. Best regards, and have a nice weekend! [1] https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/contact.html#ml -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

[uyuni-users] João's SUSE Con presentation
by SimonC 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hi, Is João's SUSEcon 2018 presentation available, either as video, or just the slide deck ? I'm planning on submitting something for SUSECon 2019, but don't want to be too similar to that one.

[uyuni-users] Moving IRC channel to Gitter
by Julio Gonzalez 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi all, We are considering moving our IRC channel at Freenode to Gitter. We would like to give it a try (meaning we'd keep both IRC and Gitter in parallel for some time), and mid-term replace it if we find the test satisfactory. Among other benefits, Gitter would provide: - Rich text and files (and an easier way for people to provide commands, logs, etc). - Notifications - History (without bouncers). - Easy linking to GitHub issues. But, before starting testing anything, we would like to know what our community thinks about it. Best regards. -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

[uyuni-users] Uyuni 4.0.2 - minor version control on RHEL/CentOS 8
by Strahil Nikolov 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hello Community, I know that RHEL 8 (and all its derivatives) are far away from production ready, but I would like to ask if anyone has managed to sync the CentOS (or even better - RHEL) 8 repositories ? I'm asking , as I want to sync CentOS (& RHEL) repos in dedicated channels like 8.0, 8.1, etc - which will allow me at later stage to remove only older releases ( which leads to more efficient space usage).At work we have a SUSE provided channel for Red Hat systems (SUMA v3.2) - but it's just a large repo without control about minor versioning.I have noticed that point-in-time repos do work untill you split a Minor version :) Once I manage to do it on the dev (Uyuni 4.0.2) , I will be able to propose that at work.The other approach I was thinking is using a VM with 'subscription-manager' (valid only for RHEL) locked to a specific version and pulling all rpms which will be a Uyuni repo for a channel. For CentOS , I was thinking to sync mirrors' directories (for example 7.7.1908 as one repo) as channel repos. Thanks for reading this long e-mail. Thanks for your reply.

by Haupt, Torsten 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hi, how can I delete old channels and repositories, which I added via SCC (Admin | Setup Wizard)? I don't need SLES12SP3 anymore and accidently added a HPC repo. I can't see any option to remove these channels. Greets Torsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: uyuni-users+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: uyuni-users+owner(a)opensuse.org
