====== spacewalk ======

===== basics =====


  - Installation [[https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall]]
    - you must recompile ''selinux-policy'' with a newer version (on centos)
      - [[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729521]]
    - use the find -exec loop to import the Base repo: <code>find . -type f -iname \*.rpm -exec echo "rpm: {}" \; -exec rhnpush --server localhost -u jfriar -p PASSWORD --channel centos6-x86_64 {} \;</code>
    - a few edits in cobbler for using eth1 ip instead of eth0
    - need a dhcp server (haven't tried to use cobbler for this)
  - Kickstart [[https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler]]
    - edit ''/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/default.ks''
    - run: <code>cobbler check</code>
    - some dhcp configuration info [[https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/kickstartingLabNetworkingSetup]]
    - kickstart options [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#Chapter_2._Kickstart_Options]]
    - cheetah, the cobbler kickstart templating engine [[https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/KickstartTemplating]]
  - Client setup [[https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients]]
    - need to install some local rpms
    - need to import keys: <code>rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/Centos-*</code>
    - add channel subscriptions in spacewalk for client
