[Spacewalk-list] SpaceWalk and Ubuntu support

[Coffman, Anthony J]

I’m using it with a handful of 14.04 systems and it’s a little painful until you figure out the requirements.  I used the excellent information from this blog which covers the topic in great detail.

And this PPA with a critical patch applied.
https://launchpad.net/~aaronr/+archive/ubuntu/spacewalk

There was a Spacewalk bug that was recently closed that is very important to be aware of if you do decide to proceed.

Hi


We use SpaceWalk for patching the CentOS based servers and it works great.

However we have heard there are many issues with SpaceWalk as far as patching Ubuntu based machines are concerned.

Is it ideal to use SpaceWalk for patch management when we have Ubuntu 14.04  LTS based machines ? If anyone is using them, your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


Cheers!
Zeal
