Hey Paul, yes, having user/passwords in environment variable is better than having them as CLI options. I just didnt care because our spacewalk can only be accessed by root users anyways. But any Pull-Request is welcome.
I havent done much kickstarting Ubuntu besides what I wrote in my blog and that was more experimenting/prototyping. However I'am interested in getting all features of Spacewalk to work with/for Ubuntu without the need of patching around. So I will be watching out for your RFEs and see how I could be of help. I have opened some myself already.. Best, Phil On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 12:44 AM, Paul Robert Marino <[email protected]> wrote: > hey Phil > > I'm testing some of your scripts so far so good.
