Hello, My spacewalk production server is only 2 years old. The upgrade patch implies to reintall from scratch and restore the postgresql dump. So I would need to buy a new server. I would probably get stuck on version 1.9 for a while if it was the last release for el5.
And of course, we need to keep el5 client support! Pierre 2013/3/25 Lasher, Eric A <[email protected]> > It's pretty critical we still support el5 clients...
