I've just started to look at deploying a fairly large installation of
Spacewalk for patching and auditing reasons and I was toying on
expanding/rearranging the user documentation section of the Trac wiki,
thought I'd better check before I fiddle with it. I realise you can just
roll back my changes, feel free to do so if there's anything you don't like
of course, but I was aiming largely to keep everything on the current front
page but rearrange it and structure it in a vaguely similar way to the PHP
user documentation. I was also going to include a few more exteneral links
to related white papers and documentation for YUM, RPM etc, as Spacewalk
relates to the larger concept of system/package/patch management I thought
it might be relevent within reason. I'd hacked out the follow structure from
the existing and also my own bookmarks for the User doucmentation frontpage
(https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UserDocs)...
Nb: (->) = external link and any sections in parameters were the content I
was going to put in there.
