[Spacewalk-list] Status of Solaris support

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello,
I've tested solaris2mpm on rhel 6: it works perfectly with the
patch_cluster archive. So the issue on RHEL 5 is related with python
2.4 and ZIP64 extension as I supposed.

Jan, I know I have the option of upgrading (not easy, but still I have
it), but all I wanted to say is that if RHEL 5 is supported, it should
be able to push solaris patch clusters, which are zip archive
requiring ZIP64 extensions. So either by calling unzip command
directly from code or using python 2.6.
BTW, did you have time to review my proposed patch to not use
"extractall" python function?

Thanks,

pierre
