[Spacewalk-list] RHEL 7 - Spacewalk

[Raymond Setchfield]

Hi Everyone

Does anyone have a guide to pull RHEL 7 packages into spacewalk? Also is
there a particular license you need to do the pull or can you use a normal
subscription license?

Thanks

Ray

Hi,

I've opened a case at redhat and asked them about this.
here is their answer:

Getting back to you question "Is it ok to sync RHEL channels in Spacewalk
and use that to manage updates for servers running rhel or is this
considered to be a license infringement ?"
Answer: Systems will be under no support from Red Hat if you are updating
them from upstream spacewalk.

BR,
Andrei

Seems like too easy an answer. I don't recall reading anywhere that Red Hat can dictate which package distribution tool you use on your end. They even document how to make a local repository for internal distribution of packages, so whether or not you do that via spacewalk should then be none of their concern.
I think that as long as you pay your license fee and you install official Red Hat packages, Red Hat must provide you with the support you paid for. I never received the question from Red Hat on "how I updated a server", but if relevant "did you update the server".

Hello folks

Please check this information

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-December/msg00234.html

@Andrei I'm checking internally *Red Hat* to confirm if something changed
and I'm not aware but I believe the info on the link above still valid.

I'll keep you all on track.
