Hi Everyone,

Since Satellite 6 is an amalgam of other F/OSS projects and is no longer solely based on Spacewalk, is a new upstream project for Satellite 6
going to be created? BEtter yet, is a new upstream project already available?

  • The upstream project is called Katello, http://www.katello.org/
    It has nothing to do with Spacewalk as far as I can tell.

    I have been tinkering with it a bit for a while and it’s not too bad. It still has some maturing to do, at the moment it’s fragile and much too easy to break. It needs a lot more horsepower to run than Spacewalk, both I/O and CPU.

  • Katello is just one piece. Satellite 6 also integrates Candlepin, Puppet and more. What I’m wondering is if the entire set of software –
    Satellite 6 as one piece – is going to get a new upstream project.

    We’re moving to Sat 6 at work. So far it looks pretty neat, but there are some bugs that hit our test system hard. They’re still not resolved.

  • The Katello project is the whole thing. During installation it pulls in Foreman, Candlepin, Pulp, Puppet and more.

  • Really? I couldn’t tell based on the Katello project site.

    Thanks for the info. I’m going to give Katello a spin at home.
