[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk on SuSE?

[Reed, Steven]

Hi,

Have not stood it up on SLES but it is possible to use spacewalk running on Centos to manage/deploy SLES, opensuse etc.  Assuming that's your end goal.
There is a bit of messing round with the kickstart/autoyast files to get them to work and you need to modify some parts of cobbler.

Obviously this is unsupported and if you want to run it in production it may be better to use Suse's supported product.  Unless you know what you are doing and can deal with unexpected issues :)

Yes, I know that SuSE is using Spacewalk as their upstream source.  I had them do a demo for me awhile back.

How difficult is it to compile SW from source?  All of the documentation is for Red Hat, CentOS and Fedora.  Has anyone else compiled it from source?  What kind of documentation is available?

Thanks

Daryl

Yes the guys at SuSE lol.
Seriously it the upstream project for SuSE manager so yes it can be done and you shouldn't expect to see any SuSE specific issues; the one piece of bad news is you should not expect the Red Hat rpms to work on SuSE so unless someone know a SuSE specific RPM  repo you may have to compile the server components your self.
