Re: [CentOS-devel] Why are Spacewalk packages removed from CentOS?

Hi Miroslav,

severals users of Spacewalk [1] reported that Spacewalk client tools are removed [2] from CentOS (they are present in RHEL).

It's about packages:  rhn-check  rhn-client-tools  rhnlib  rhnsd  rhn-setup  rhn-setup-gnome  yum-rhn-plugin

I dig up in history [3] and find that the reason was probably reference to rhn.redhat.com. Since current Spacewalk (default) configuration should not hit rhn.redhat.com I'm curious if those packages can be put back to CentOS? Or is some other reason behind removal of those packages?

I guess the only good reason was because they where not necessary (nor useful) on CentOS in the past. Karan, could we put them in?

If needed, I could do build and QA on that.

Best Regards Marcus
