[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk with Oracle Linux

[Martin Eggen]

As OEL is more or less a rewrapped RHEL distribution it should be fairly straight-forward to create a OEL channel (using mrepo to mirror from http://public-yum.oracle.com/, although I'm not sure how they publish their erratas).
As far as I can see from the list archives this has been done (with some minor issues regarding how OEL identifies release versions).

Hi

Was curious if anyone has successfully used Spacewalk with Oracle Linux. The company that I am working for has decided not just to get in bed with the devil but be joined at the hip. The Oracle tools at the moment does not seem up to job to provision and manage Oracle Linux machines. I am interested in anyone's experience good or bad. If it is of a sensitive nature than please feel free to email me offline.

The changes that Oracle makes seems small enough so should be theoretically possible. I have not yet done my own testing and will do so in due course.

Regards
