If you're using the upstream Spacewalk packages, you need to deploy the RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2015 key first, before these packages will install.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I deploy all of those during kickstart without a problem using the builds from Oracle (because my target servers already have the Oracle Linux GPG key installed) and on my CentOS boxes, I deploy the GPG key during the kickstart process itself and then these packages are installed automatically by Spacewalk to enable registration. About the only ones you have to manually deploy are the rhncfg-* packages.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For example, Spacewalk will automatically deploy rhn-virtualization-host if the activation key used is entitled to either VIrtualization or Virtualization Platform. Likewise, the standard client RPMs will be deployed if Spacewalk detects them in one of the enabled child channels in the kickstart profile.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Avi</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 8 Apr 2016, at 10:41 AM, Konstantin Raskoshnyi <<a href="mailto:konrasko@gmail.com" class="">konrasko@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">I thought i'd work for a new kickstart machine...for example if I put these packages they won't be installed, because first - you need to register your machine.<div class="">I then you need to add packages into your kickstart.</div><div class=""><div class="">rhn-client-tools</div><div class="">rhn-check</div><div class="">rhn-setup</div><div class="">rhnsd</div><div class="">m2crypto</div><div class="">yum-rhn-plugin</div><div class="">rhncfg-actions</div><div class="">rhn-virtualization-host</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 3:59 PM, Avi Miller <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:avi.miller@oracle.com" target="_blank" class="">avi.miller@oracle.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="">Hi,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It works fine for me. :) YMMV.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1.
