I would like to use katello with Puppet Enterprise. I would prefer that
the katello server is a PE client. Is there any way to install just the
subscription manager part of katello? Basically, I would like the same
functionality as Redhat Subscription Asset Manager (SAM), but with support
for CentOS (and other third party) repositories.
Thanks.
There's some good information at
https://puppetlabs.com/solutions/red-hat-satellite (check the blog link at
the bottom).
For what its worth, I've been able to manage CentOS stuff in Satellite 6
even though it's unsupported. It's a little rough, but it works from a
Content View/Channel Management perspective. There are some scripts for
importing errata, but it's not clear to me that all of that functions
perfectly (though admittedly I've spent next to no time on it).
In my experience, the puppet stuff still lives on in
katello(foreman)/satellite, but becomes meaningless when you're using PE as
your ENC and master.

Possibly nothing. Like I said, I haven't had time to fully investigate as
it's not something important to my role, but I started looking into it as
others in my organization do care.
Where I left off was the import script from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brdude/pulp_centos_errata_import/master/errata_import.pl
in combination with the errata.latest.xml from http://cefs.steve-meier.de.
I wrote a simple wrapper script that runs a wget for the errata.xml file
and then runs the perl script with that as the input.
The Errata count in a content view doesn't seem to be taking into
consideration the CentOS repos. The EPEL repo seems to be getting imported
just fine, though. I just updated the view with the latest sync and while
the package count went from 19789 to 20377, the Errata count stayed the
same at 3736.
Also, on the Content Hosts page, even though yum shows updates available
for a server, the Installable Errata column for the CentOS hosts are all 0.
Still, the script seems to do something, as it will output stuff like:
INFO: Errata for CESA-2015:1742 already exists
NOTICE: Skipping errata CESA-2015:1778 (Important CentOS kernel Security
Update) – No packages found
That's as much as I've done with it to this point. If there are better ways
of importing the Errata, I'm all ears. That was just what I found in the
few hours I spent working on it.
