[Spacewalk-list] Status of Solaris support

[Pierre Casenove]

I've tested to deploy the pushed patch cluster... and it failed:
In Spacewalk, I have this error message in the failed actions page:
Patch cluster install failed: Bad magic number for central directory

I've rhn_check manually from my client and here is the output:
D: do_call solarispkgs.patchClusterInstall
([[['patch-cluster-solaris-', '20120412', '1',
'sparc-solaris-patch-cluster', 'solaris-10-sparc-patches'], {}]],)

Here is my guess, but with no proof:
After rhnpushing the mpm files, Spacewalk rebuild the
10_recommended.zip file alone. As I'm on RHEL 5, python 2.4 is used to
build the 10_recommended.zip file... which requires ZIP64 extensions.
And so it fails.

Any help would be really apprecciated
