[Spacewalk-list] Status of Solaris support

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello list,
I wanted to test Solaris 10 Sparc client management from my spacewalk
1.7 server... and it is not very successful!
1) I've downloaded the packages and installed them without any
problem. One note on the README file: libgcc is in /usr/sfw/lib, which
has to be added to the ld library path
2) I've created a channel with "SPARC" architecture.
3) rhnreg_ks fails to register my client:
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://Server/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-solaris-10
Doing checkNeedUpdate

Internal Server Error

On server side, here are the logs:
2012/06/22 15:04:49 -00:00 8676 10.120.193.1:
registration._normalize_packages('ERROR', 'architecture du package',

4) i've uploaded a patch (119254-84.zip) on my spacewalk server and
ran solaris2mpm:
# solaris2mpm 119254-84.zip
Opening archive, this may take a while
Error creating mpm for /root/workdir/solaris/tmp/119254-84.zip:
<rhnpush.archive.InvalidArchiveError instance at 0xda5e638>

5) I've ran solaris2mpm from my Solaris client... it worked!
# solaris2mpm 119254-84.zip
Opening archive, this may take a while
Writing patch-solaris-119254-84-1.sparc-solaris-patch.mpm

I then tried to rhnpush this package... it failed :'(
rhnpush -c solaris-10-sparc patch-solaris-119254-84-1.sparc-solaris-patch.mpm

Error Message:

Any help on these issues?

Thanks in advance
