I am currently looking into a patch/package management solution for my
company. We have a large RHEL and SLES environment. I currently have a

I've looked at RH Satellite and SuSE Manger for possible patch/package
management solutions. I'm not impressed with Satellite 6. It no longer
uses SW as and upstream source, however, I am impressed with SuSE
Manager. It sill uses SW as an upstream source and SuSE still heavily
contributes to the project.
OK, so ...
Satellite 6 uses pulp on the backend for all the content management
pieces, in case you was not aware of that.
Satellite 5 can still be used today, with versions 5.6 and 5.7 being
supported until 2017, and then an ELS version available until 2019 -
likely based on Sat 5.7.
Satellite 5 engineers still remain the largest and most active
contributors to Spacewalk, and no matter how I move the dates, the SUSE
contributions typically kick in at number 6 or below.
Examples, include:
- year to date:
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/graphs/contributors?from=2015-01-01&to=2015-04-30&type=c
- Satellite 5 are the top 6
- Previous 6 months:
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/graphs/contributors?from=2014-07-01&to=2014-12-31&type=c
- Satellite 5 are the top 8
The SuSE engineer told me that we can use SuSE Manager to manage both
our RHEL and SLES environment. However, in order to get RHEL
patches/packages, I need to use Pulp to attach to a RHEL repository,
pull down the patches/packages then have SW or similar get the
patches/packages from Pulp.
I agree that today SUSE Manager does advertise support for both RHEL and
SLES, same as Spacewalk, while neither Satellite product versions do.
If you have a link to documentation provided for this process we can
review it. It may help us understand the details of what is being asked for.

I followed the installation procedure, and I think that I have
everything configured correctly, however, I'm not sure that I know how
to connect to a RHEL repository.
I'm guessing that I need to use "pulp-admin rpm repo create" command, is
that correct? I tried that command, but get the error: "The specified
user does not have permission to execute the given command". I'm
running the command as root.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing? Do I not have the Pulp
configured correctly? I have just a basic install, no SSL configured,
no multi-server configuration, just a basic Proof-of-Concept install. I
just want to make sure that this will work before I move forward with
any specific package management system.
Thank you
Daryl
