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- Spacewalk github repositories have been archived (are read-only now)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
