(though if we find it necessary then we'll figure something out) Building and tagging packages in a branch off master, while work moves on in master and we merge that in occasionally, is a bit tricky to coordinate. As for packaging I'm hopeful that when we finish this effort, things will look something like: - - yum install spacewalk requires no database packages (as your db could be on another host) - - spacewalk will install schema for one or both databases somewhere on your system. if we choose one or the other, postgresql should be the default. - - spacewalk-setup will prompt if you'd like an "embedded" installation where we assume the admin doesn't know anything about databases, then just yum install postgresql and configure a database for them during the setup automatically. - - otherwise, spacewalk-setup will ask for connection parameters to your pre-existing oracle or postgresql db and install the appropriate schema. I'm going to try to get a script in the pgsql branch soon to copy all pgsql modified files into a live location on the system soon. Hopefully this will hold us over for awhile but we'll see how it goes.
