Puppet required?
by Avram Lubkin 06 May '13

06 May '13

I was looking over the project and it looks interesting, much improved over Spacewalk. I particularly like how different projects are used instead of one monolithic project. There's just one thing that concerns me. It looks like if I want to do provisioning I have to use Foreman and if I use Foreman I have to use Puppet. Since Puppet requires ruby installed on all clients I can't deploy it. This is due to a security requirement. I can't add interpreters to a system unless I have a good justification. I can do what puppet does without adding another interpreter, so I can't justify it. I know there are lots of organizations that use puppet and probably install Ruby to support it, but I've never worked with a group that would allow that. Any plans to support CFengine or something similar that wouldn't require another interpreter on the clients? Python is Okay too, since any RHEL or RHEL-like system already has it. Please reply all, not on the list. Thanks, Avram

Katello 1.0 and Fedora 16 (SELinux)
by Lukas Zapletal 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hello, there are several reports about selinux issues under Fedora 16 on the IRC and now on BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848948 It's a bug in Fedora 16 that has been already fixed. Update SELinux in Fedora 16 and you will be fine. Fedora 17 is already fixed (we are still not there yet). There is a note on the https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install page, read it carefully. I recommend to subscribe to changes of this page if you work with Katello on a daily basis. Please note this is a regression since we changed our build root and koji builds are now built on RHELs. We were using Fedoras for that. That is the reason why the bug was not showing. We could change our build root but since it would be quite a task and we will hopefully have Fedora 17 support very soon, we can live with this for a while. I already announced this on the devel list when I found it, my mistake I did not do it here. So take care, and have a nice weekend! -- Later, Lukas "lzap" Zapletal #katello #systemengine

We have not been publishing community repos for EL5 previously but I'm going to try to spin one up now. If there are no build issues I'll report back shortly with the repo location.
