[Spacewalk-list] End of life for Spacewalk project?

[Sulove Khanal]

This is not clear, so will Spacewalk in its entirety be discontinued or just Satellite 5?

The upstream project for Satellite 6 is "Foreman" https://theforeman.org/introduction.html... which (along with katello) uses a number of very different components to handle the provisioning/configuration mgmt/package management.

>From what I'm seeing it just says that Satellite will end on May 31, not spacewalk.  Where did we read that Spacewalk will be done?

Also, is there a consolidated upstream project similar to Satellite 6?  Because from what I can see SuSE and Oracle (for their unbearable Linux) use Spacewalk or a similar structure, or am I mistaken?

We used to use spacewalk much more than we do now, but it does need to be caught up in patching.

EXTERNAL MESSAGE: Exercise Caution

What would be the implications of moving to the newer stack? Would it lose compatibility with previous versions?

Means we have to either fork it or move on to the newer stack that redhat uses.

My plan so far is to start migrating to the newer stack. Sadly the value of spacewalk is dropping due to cloud usage. And a lack of understanding what Spacewalk can do.

I have 2 spacewalk servers - one running 2.7 and one running 2.9. I was looking at the Spacewalk homepage yesterday, thinking about updating to 2.10, and saw that Spacewalk is being discontinued as of May 31, 2020??

 

What does that mean? It won't be available anymore? No new updates after that date? What does the future hold for Spacewalk after May 31, 2020?
