Description
Spacewalk is an open source Linux systems management solution. It is the upstream community project from which the Red Hat Network Satellite product is derived.
Koji is Fedora's build platform.
Fermilab is currently testing Spacewalk for various roles. We are testing it for desktop and server monitoring, system configuration, and errata information. Although we currently are still in the testing stage, we have been impressed with it's functionality and development.
Fermilab's Scientific Linux development team is looking at Koji for the building of SL6 and possibly SL5. Many of it's built in functionality's make building packages easier, and it's reporting tools are very nice. But there is a steep learning curve when installing and setting up Koji.
