Having one centralized place for all configuration/RPM's is desirable to

spacewalk and TL updates and so forth can be done like we normally do.
For us, it would be a huge win to be able to run remote commands, manage
configuration files, and deploy rpm updates through spacewalk.

AIX for the F/OSS software that is not included with AIX).

What kind of effort would be involved in getting these pieces working?
I'm not talking about provisioning or anything too complex.  I just
think it would be a huge gain to be able to do the things I mentioned
above.

Why wouldn't you just NIM?  I think you'd have a hard time making
spacewalk alt-disk aware for a start.  And that's just the first thing
that I thought of after about 5 seconds?  With Solaris, at least
there's a value-add because Solaris packaging is so horrible.

Hello,

I did think the same thing a couple weeks ago. But I did it for the provisioning part. The NIM server is a basic tftp, pxe boot server. So it must be possible to change this to the spacewalk server.

I will problable look into it, but not in a short time. First we need to get the Debian support ready.

Kind regards,

Jasper Aikema
