I have been reading this wiki entry earlier, but have not considered to use that approach. I now see that the external node lookup script and cobbler features described in the Wiki seems to be present in RH Satellite Server 5.3 (which we use at work). I will try to create a Spacewalk setup using Cobbler as an external node source to see if it fits the requirements. > Are there area's within Spacewalk you would like to see enhanced further to > make future work with Puppet easier to do? Basically what I need is a simple way to integrate a configuration management system with Spacewalk both at kickstart time and for later configuration. Flexibility and good APIs /scripting possibilities to be able to connect Spacewalk to other pieces of software is very valuable. I may be able to give better feedback when I have worked more with this. > Are you using git or svn to store puppet config files?

We are also about to improve our workflow using tags and scripts to make a more consistent dev -> test -> prod staging of Puppet code. We have not considered to use the config management system of Spacewalk to store puppet configs.
