Let's be careful how we add to that document. We want the document to be accurate but as simple as possible. I don't like it when we have a bunch of conditionals in a howto, makes it more difficult to follow. For example, I do *NOT* care for something like this: = Importing GPG keys = For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-former rpm -e specspo yum install gpg yum install spacewalk If you are using CentOS, wget http://www.redhat.com/security/db42a60e.txt mv db42a60e.txt /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-former rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-former If you are using Fedora, .----------- If the document will have a bunch of those types of changes, I'd much rather have a separate page for each. jesus _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
