Hi Avi, We are still doing some R&D of spacewalk and my test server is CentOS. I thought about building on Oracle Linux if we go production with it. Doesn’t the Oracle build of Spacewalk require an Oracle database, vs postgres?
I really appreciate your help!

Yes. As long as the packages you’re installing on your Oracle Linux servers are signed by Oracle (i.e. are synced from yum.oracle.com<http://yum.oracle.com> or ULN), you will get support. However, we will not support your Spacewalk instance or any issues you have connecting your Oracle Linux servers to that instance. Frankly, it makes way more sense to deploy the Oracle build of Spacewalk on Oracle Linux 7 so that you have a fully supported stack and then you can update your CentOS instances from that. You don’t get support for CentOS anyway, so there is zero loss here, but you gain support for the Spacewalk infrastructure.
