[Spacewalk-list] Dependency errors on install

[Irwin, Jeffrey R]

Ok, that was working well.  Until I get to 
spacewalk-setup --disconnected
** Database: Setting up database connection for PostgreSQL backend.
The spacewalk-setup-postgresql does not seem to be available.
You might want to use --external-oracle or --external-postgresql command line option.

[root at phfispacewalk yum.repos.d]# spacewalk-setup --disconnected --external-postgresql

When I run the latter command with --external, I don't know what the answers should be.  Seems like I would have to set up postgresql first.  I don't see instructions for that.

Hi,

(Apologies for the vendor-specific answers here)

Why not install Spacewalk from the Oracle repos directly? That way, you can get support for Spacewalk under your Oracle Linux support subscription too.

Installation instructions for Spacewalk on Oracle:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E58680/html/index.html

Also, as per the documentation, registering a system with ULN is not supported when running Spacewalk (both client and server) as the Spacewalk RPMs replace the ULN RPMs and break connectivity. Regardless of whether you run the Oracle build of Spacewalk or the upstream build, you need to only use public-yum.oracle.com to source your packages:

http://public-yum.oracle.com

Once Spacewalk is installed, you can sync directly from ULN without needing to register with ULN, as per:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E58680/html/sw22-config.html#sw22-channel-config-uln

Note this works in the upstream version of Spacewalk 2.2 as well. It's not specific to the Oracle build.

Hope that helps,
Avi
