[Spacewalk-list] [External Sender] Re: More problems with Spacewalk 2.8

There is definitely some information lacking in this 2.8 release.  Is it
really ready for prime-time?

The link provided by Jan-Albert only gets you an rpm to create a yum repo
on a system. I don’t see how that would work with Spacewalk.  The packages
are actually here:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client
/epel-6-x86_64
<https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client/epel-6-x86_64>
.  The problem is that each package is in its own directory (unlike, say,
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.7-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/
<http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.7-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/>
).  Again, how would one make that work with Spacewalk.

Thanks…but that didn’t help:

Good afternoon,

Repositories have moved.

Client packages can be found at
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client/
<https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client/>

Greetings Spacers,

I continue to have issues with Spacewalk 2.8.

I am using Centos 6.9 fully patched with a fresh install (not upgraded) of
SW 2.8.

When I use this command:

/usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -u $SW_USER -p $SW_PASS -a x86_64
spacewalk28-client-centos6

I get the resulting repo of:

http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/
<http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/>

which doesn’t exist – all my syncs fail and no client software to install.

Ditto on the spacewalk28-server-centos6 common channel.  I get the repo of:
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8/RHEL/6/x86_64/
<http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8/RHEL/6/x86_64/>

Which doesn’t exist.

What are the correct repos to use for SW 2.8 client/server for Centos 6 and
Centos 7?

The pre-release testing of SW 2.8 appears to be lacking somewhat.

Regards,

Larry
