Vikram, I'm sorry you are having a difficult time. The typical setup is to install Spacewalk 0.4 on your dev system. Then install git, clone the repo, stop the spacewalk server, run the ant install-devel task. Obviously that's a generalization but that's pretty much it. What this will do is use the java and perl code from your git checkout instead of the ones installed in the first step. A make install in the backend side should allow it to replace the ones installed by spacewalk-backend. The page below is what we used: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/DevelopmentWorkstationSetup Also, could you please post your log files or paste your errors in fpaste.org and post the url here. It's difficult to help you if we don't know what the error is or when the error occurs.
