Hi,
What is the likelihood of Debian packages being supported by Katello?
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/10478
Thanks,
Jamie.
As the bug says, the main blocker is deb support in Pulp. To my knowledge,
no one is currently working on that, although I hear it's mostly done and
just needs someone with good Apt/Dpkg knowledge to check it over and give
it some good testing. This may be incorrect, I just get rumours 
Once that's done, the remaining work for Katello to support deb can be
figured out.

Thanks Greg.
I'm interested in the roadmap for Katello (and here, particularly as it
relates to Debian support). We're trying to make Katello work for us, but
we're not clear where it's future lies in our organisation. To hijack my
own thread, another example is whether/when ansible will usurp puppet.

As stated, Katello's ability to manage a particular content type is tied to
Pulp's support for that content type. The more interest we see, the more we
as a project can work with the Pulp team to drive prioritization. I would
also encourage any users that are interested in directly voicing request to
the Pulp team via their mailing list (
Pulp-list Info Page) or issue tracker (
Overview - Debian Support - Pulp). Currently, the only other types
Pulp provides that Katello does not provide the user directly are
generic/file type (coming in Katello 3.0) and python.
Further, if supporting more content types is a priority that users would
like to see then hearing that is good to allow us to prioritize better.
Can you clarify what you mean by ansible usupring puppet? These two
entities can exist in a lot of contexts.
Eric

Thanks Eric. Do you have a list of features that will make it into 3.0 and
a timeline for its release?
We're poised to invest more into the config. management of our estate. If
we keep Katello/Foreman at the centre, it would help to know which tool(s)
will (most likely) be available (within the delivered stack) in the future.

I wouldn't expect either to be going away - Foreman tries to support as
many config management systems as it can. That's why you can add them via
plugins. Of course, Puppet has been part of core Foreman since day 1, but
the foreman_ansible plugin is getting huge interest at the moment, and I
expect it will be maintained going forward.
