Hello, I would like to confirm some expectations here: 1) As stage2.img/vmlinuz/initrd.img files are not part of the repository, you have to use Systems -> Kickstart -> Distributions -> create new distribution to add them. This should work. 2) For repodata issue (Spacewalk is not generating repodata for channel which is syncing from yum repo) I can not confirm this is still an issue on recent Spacewalks. Do you still see it? Thanks for the answers, Jan (In reply to comment #1) Hi Jan, > 1) As stage2.img/vmlinuz/initrd.img files are not part of the repository, you > have to use Systems -> Kickstart -> Distributions -> create new distribution to > add them. This should work. It does work, but the files still have to be on the local disk AFAIK. What sense is there that any org admin can create and sync new (base) channels but not new distributions necessary to kicsktart with the base channel? > 2) For repodata issue (Spacewalk is not generating repodata for channel which > is syncing from yum repo) I can not confirm this is still an issue on recent > Spacewalks. Do you still see it? Okay, I didn't know it works like that. Either way, this bug/rfe is about having the possibility to sync the images necessary for the kickstart distribution over the WebUI instead of having to wget them to the server and then creating the distribution with local paths. So I just want to specify the URL for the folder with all the images in it on any mirror (or, if necessary to all files needed instead of just to the folder). Additionally it would be helpful if every image file is only kept once on the hard disk, just like with the rpm files.

I see & thanks for the clarification. Mass-moving to space13. We did not have time for this one during Spacewalk 1.4 time frame. Mass moving to Spacewalk 1.5. We did not have time for this one during Spacewalk 1.4 time frame. Mass moving to Spacewalk 1.5. Aligning under space16. Spacewalk project as an upstream for Red Hat Satellite 5 product is going to be End Of Life on May 31 2020. Spacewalk 2.10 has been released as the last release of this project. https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/ReleaseNotes210 Any new feature will not be included therefore closing remaining RFEs to set expectations properly. |
