Hi, I would like to contribute a howto page about the configuration of Spacewalk for package management under CentOS 5. Spacewalk is the upstream project for the source of RedHat Network Satellite. It provides a management interface for software updates across registered servers and desktops. Here is were I would like to put this page: <http://www.redhat.com/red_hat_network/>

Hi guys, I want to update and add some content to this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk The page have instructions for Spacewalk 0.6, but there's a newer version (0.7) and some changes are needed. I already updated my spacewalk install and would like to contribute with the wiki page. More information about spacewalk can be found here:

Dear all, HugoDoria's last two edits on the Spacewalk page (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk) have removed line feeds from all preformatted text, as well as pointed to some RHEL6 packages on a page written for CentOS 5. I propose that the page be reverted backed to revision 82. Regards, Timothy

Hi , All I 'm a green hand and interested in open source development. I have a general question “How to test my patch before I post it to public?” Hope you guys give me some suggestions. : ) Firstly, I can re-compile the code, to assure no syntax error. However,I don't know how to test my patch's function is right or not. Some software requires unit test for each function. Is there

Hi All I try to test flight 12785 job test-amd64-amd64-xl on my own machine. I download kerndist.tar.gz , dist.tar.gz and xendist.tar.gz from logfiles generated by job build-amd64-pvops and build-amd64. But there is no clue on how to get a root file system. So I try Ubuntu 11.10 as its rootfs, which is ext3 format. Unfortunately, it complains the <The disk drive for / is not ready yet or

Hi all, To boot a Xen from grub, we normally use a Xen kernel and a domain0 kernel & initrd.img as its modules. Now, I want to merge these three files into one single kernel file, then I can boot it without modules. I am doing this because a simulator environment only has one file entry for the kernel. Do you guys have some hints on how to do that? BTW, I can merge the domain0 kernel &

Hi, Is there a patch management server option in CentOS Linux version 5 and documentation or manuals to set it up? Regards Kaushal

Good afternoon, My username is GrahamWilliamson I would like to have access to the CentOS wiki. I want to create and add some initial content to the VoIP SIG. http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup has a link to http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Voip however I feel the VoIP SIG page should actually be http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/VoIP. Also, I'd like to update

Hi, I am working on a kickstart install method and it works fine with cdrom as installation media. I would like change this media to an online resource. I saw option as - 'url --url http://<server>/<dir>'. I am not sure what should be the directory contents? Should we put all ISOs in that directory or what? Any insights? Thanks, CS.

Hey folks, I just did an update on a system that is taking the better part of a day ( 5.3 ---> 5.7 ) mainly due to file download times. And I have 4 or 5 more systems to do. I know I can create my own repository and then point them at it - but that is difficult here because rsync is blocked (ggrrrrrr...) Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically cache everything

Hi , All I try to compile xen-unstable.hg(25249:a4e7fce6ee2b) from source repo on ubuntu11.10-amd64. It complains "/usr/include/features.h:323:26 fatal error: bits/predefs.h No such file or directory". I wonder it''s a thing related to 32bits and 64bits. How to solve this problem? Thank you.

Hi there, it just happened I installed spacewalk using your wiki article and I would like to give you back some minor updates based on my installation: can you enable PieroOttuzzi to modify that page? Many thanks Piero -- Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Hi all, I try to build xen 4.2( revision number: 25161) on Ubuntu 11.10_amd64, Mac pro. After running ./configure and make. I got the following fatal error: *libxlu_cfg_y.y:22:26: fatal error: libxlu_cfg_l.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.* So the original libxlu_cfg_l.h is deleted when making, and should be regenerated but it is not. I find the path of flex and bison is not

In wiki content http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk Oracle Database --> Installation, I found this : You will also need a client to access the database. Download the Oracle Instant Client: i386 client or x86_64 according to the architecture of your server. Download the following two (2) RPM packages: * oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0.ARCH.rpm *

Dear Patrice, I have noticed that you are referencing to the Stahnma repository for Spacewalk Client Tools. These are quite old and I would suggest to use the tools from: http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum instead. Mr. Suchy already pushed some of the packages to Fedora/EPEL so they might be available there, soon. Besides that the Spacewalk Team is thinking about a split between client/server on

Hello, I have been asked to come up with a strategy for centralized patch management of our linux servers. Today, this is only centos and rhel. What is everyone else doing in this arena? Thanks!

Anyone here use spacewalk as opposed other foss apps to accomplish the same thing? Any opinions? Thanks, jlc

I have a mix of CentOS 5, 6, and now 7 servers at work. There are enough of them now that it is starting to make sense for them to get updates from an internal source. I've seen RHN Satellite in years past. It looks like it may be a way to allow Windows admins here (familiar with WSUS) to update Linux boxes. A local repo might be easier to set up, but (as with Spacewalk) it seems like
