I tried it last year with 13.04 and I was able to get a few things to work =
but there were critical problems I couldn't resolve.
I could sync 99% of packages but there were a small number in most repos th=
at said the package was invalid. From memory - it was a known issue with a=
reasonable explanation that had to do with the type of content that was pe=
rmissible in apt repos versus yum repos.
I could register clients and subscribe them to channels and see their packa=
ge lists.
I couldn't install packages either from the client end nor from the server.=
It threw an error - from memory this was a known issue and there wasn't a=
fix available at the time but there were patches that made it slightly bet=
ter. Any sort of client action threw errors on both the client and server.
Didn't go any further after that and eventually I ripped it out because the=
repos are so huge and I only have a small number of Ubuntu systems with li=
mited time to throw at them. I'm hopeful that pulp Debian support will eve=
ntually become mature enough so I that I can get these into Katello. In th=
e meantime, I'm back to manually dealing with frozen repo cloning in order =
to provide stable baselines.
If somebody gets this working on any version of Ubuntu, I'd love to hear ab=
out it.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] ubuntu repositories and errata
Is it possible to create Ubuntu repositories and software channels in space=
walk? We would like to start using Ubuntu and need the ability to centrally=
manage updates. We would like to have it sync the errata and be able to pu=
sh out the packages to the servers. Has anyone done this and have informati=
on they can send my way to do this?
