We will be releasing new versions of Spacewalk in time, after the integration work with ULN is complete. We have evaluated the 2.1 release and there were no critical bug fixes that needed immediate release. If you have a particular issue with 2.0, please log an SR.</p> <p class="comment-details">Posted by <strong>Avi Miller</strong> on March 24, 2014 at 03:18 PM PDT <a class="entrypermalink" title="comment permalink" href="https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/using_spacewalk_to_manage_oracle#comment-1395699524332">#</a></p> </div> <p>On 2014-03-27 8:22, Snyder, Chris wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" style="padding-left:5px; border-left:#1010ff 2px solid; margin-left:5px; width:100%"> <pre>That explains the future of Red Hat's Satellite, but this doesn't really answer the question regarding Spacewalk. Katello, et al, is a completely different beast than Spacewalk as far as I understand. So does that mean that Spacewalk is going to continue as is, or will it be end of life'd, or will it be completely re-written to parallel Katello? As far as I can tell, Spacewalk as we know it is a dead end. If RH is going to push Katello in the future, then there's no reason for them to support Spacewalk as it currently stands, and they provide a rather large amount of support for this product. I'm sure the non-RH SW community will continue support, but will it be worth it? I mean, most companies and admins will probably jump ship to Katello once RH moves to that completely, so SW usage will start to drop. I guess SW will have a purpose as long as RH continues to use/support Satellite 5.x, but once that's over, I really think Spacewalk will be dead. Call me pessimistic, but I don't see a future for Spacewalk, not if RH is going to push Katello as the new way forward. Anybody care to give a differing opinion or correct any flaws in my understanding? Please?!

The overview of Satellite 6 was listed in last years Summit. During Red Hat Summit ( <a href="https://www.redhat.com/summit">https://www.redhat.com/summit</a> ), next month there will be updated presentations on roadmap, releases, etc. Typically the presentations used will be made available within a week after Summit is complete.
