Dear Spacewalkers,
You may have noticed that the number of Red Hat contributions decreased in the
last couple of months. This is aligned with our plan and communication. Now we
reached a state when no further contributions are planned from the Red Hat
side.
Let me clarify what it means for the community:
- Spacewalk 2.10 is the very last release
- Spacewalk github repositories have been archived (are read-only now)
- Red Hat won't commit any new code, provide any bug fixes (not even critical
security ones), enhancement or accept any pull requests (it isn't possible to
submit a PR to an archived repository)
- The spacewalk-announce-list@redhat.com and spacewalk-devel@redhat.com mailing
lists will be archived
- Spacewalk contributors from Red Hat left #spacewalk-devel IRC channel on freenode
- All remaining Spacewalk bugreports have been closed and it is not possible to
create new ones
- There's no one to track future security exposures, CVEs
- Due to the lack of further updates we strongly recommend not to expose
running servers on a public network and keeping them within your private
network
What will still be available:
- spacewalkproject.org pages (as they are, with no further changes)
- COPR repositories with Spacewalk packages, so it's possible:
- to install new and upgrade existing Spacewalk servers (but with no further updates)
- to fork them to make your own customizations
- #spacewalk IRC channel on freenode and
- spacewalk-list@redhat.com mailing list for the community to discuss Spacewalk
related questions or issues
- read-only github repositories - anyone can clone and use them according to
the General Public License (GPLv2) license
If you choose to, you may still run your existing or install new servers, use
already synced content, create or sync new one, manage existing or register new
clients. We know there will still be plenty of users that will keep operating
Spacewalk for some time.
Up to the current date, we're aware of only one public Spacewalk fork - Uyuni
project. We're encouraging everyone who'd like to stay with the codebase and
active community to check out this project.
We'd also like to take this opportunity and thank all developers and
contributors who helped us to create this project, to our long time users, to
people opening bug reports, debugging and fixing issues and to Red Hat to
sponsoring the project for all these years. It's been a pleasure and fun
working on Spacewalk, we've enjoyed it. Thank you!
See you in communities of other management projects!
Spacewalk team
