Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Help Setting Up Ubuntu Channel/Repository
Spacewalk 2.7 will be released shortly and includes some significant
improvements to Ubuntu/Debian version handling. If you are running spacewalk
from the nightly repo and it is up to date, you already have the server side
fixes. You will also need the updated Ubuntu/Debian client bits.
One note. After updating to 2.7 or nightly that incorporates these fixes, you
will need to recreate your Ubuntu/Debian repos in spacewalk in order to have
the fixed version parsing put the correct values in the database.

Could you please expand on "the updated Ubuntu/Debian client bits"? What is the
changed functionality and any idea how those are getting distributed? Are they getting
rolled into upstream and we can expect packages on existing distributions, or are we
going to need to pull packages from a PPA and distribute them through a custom channel?
Thanks,

The only change on the client end is the client sends a release value of
'X' instead of '0' by default. Its a one-character change in the
debUtils.py file (line 31, I think) that is part of the rhn-client-tools
package.
The Pull Request for the version support is here -
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/pull/500.
As for getting this distributed, I'm not sure. I have been unable to
find a Debian maintainer that can roll this in. Then there is another
step, I think, to get from there into Ubuntu.
