Dear Karan.
...
This conversation has gone past 2 full loops now. The only issue, as far as I can tell, not cleared up is that can packages in the stock EL4 and EL5 srpm tree be used against spacewalk 0.6 and 0.7 ?
They might be 'outdated' in that perhaps all features may not be present, but is there an issue of these packages not being usable at all due to an api incompatibility ?
Not now, but maybe in upcoming releases of Spacewalk.
Spacewalk is meant to be used with the Spacewalk client tools, not the RHE ones.
Best Regards Marcus
