The alternative is to migrate to Uyuni.
https://www.uyuni-project.org

I'm also in the process in migration. If you like to stick with the "traditional client" (like spacewalk is doing) this should work.

My error was, that I directly wanted to migrate also from the "traditional client" to the "saltstack" client (with Debian clients) around 1 year ago. That was quite a pain.

It was a lot of work till now but the latest version of uyuni works pretty good right now with Debian.

No need to do all the workarounds to patch the Packages.gz file with missing headers anymore.
Release and InRelease files get generated (of configured).

I've tried to run the foreman/katello.... But I failed quite miserably (maybe I didn't try it long enough or was just to stupid... Don't know)

You should give it a try.

Regards
Robert

@Howard

It was actually announced by Michael M. a while ago thru this very email list. (Late April/Early may if I recall), so yes, Spacewalk discontinued.

>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.

See Ya'

EXTERNAL MESSAGE: Exercise Caution

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

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?
