Hi Everyone,
Since Satellite 6 is an amalgam of other F/OSS projects and is no longer solely based on Spacewalk, is a new upstream project for Satellite 6 going to be created? BEtter yet, is a new upstream project already available?

The upstream project is called Katello, http://www.katello.org/ It has nothing to do with Spacewalk as far as I can tell.
I have been tinkering with it a bit for a while and it's not too bad. It still has some maturing to do, at the moment it's fragile and much too easy to break. It needs a lot more horsepower to run than Spacewalk, both I/O and CPU.

Katello is just one piece. Satellite 6 also integrates Candlepin, Puppet and more. What I'm wondering is if the entire set of software - Satellite 6 as one piece - is going to get a new upstream project.

We're moving to Sat 6 at work. So far it looks pretty neat, but there are some bugs that hit our test system hard. They're still not resolved.

The Katello project is the whole thing. During installation it pulls in Foreman, Candlepin, Pulp, Puppet and more.

Really? I couldn't tell based on the Katello project site.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to give Katello a spin at home.
