Hi folks,
today we provide Spacewalk releases on EL5, EL6, and current Fedora
versions. Due to the increasing differences of EL5 vs. the newest OSes,
we are seriously considering not releasing Spacewalk on EL5 anymore,
since it hinders our ability to do some other forward-looking changes we
would like to do.
If we make the current Spacewalk 1.9 the last release on EL5, will
Spacewalk users find it hard to migrate to EL6?
Feedback is appreciated and will be taken into consideration for how
quickly we make this change.
is this just talking about the server side, rather than clients?
currently running spacewalk server on el5/32 bit (making use of old
hardware), and all works well.
if 1.9 were to be the last el5 release, it wouldn't be too much of a
pain - we would just stick on this version until able to migrate the
server to el6/64, which we should be able to do without too much
trouble, though we may get a release or two behind before we have time
to do the upgrade. again, not really a worry.
as for client side, we will have some (quite a few) el5 clients for a
while yet, so it would be nice if these could continue to be managed by
spacewalk.
hope that's of some use.
thanks,
richard
