Pulp

Hi,

We are in need of an automated patching tool at our company. Searching on the internet I came across Pulp. It looks very good to me and I am thinking about giving it a try, but was wondering if there are any people here who have experience with it?
Distro's we have running are: CentOs, RedHat, Suse an Debian (about 200 servers)

Many thanks.

do you mean this: https://pulpproject.org/ ? This is not related to patch management at all.
What do you mean by "automated patching tool"?

Yes, that's the one.

Last week I tried spacewalk, but the problem is that it's not supported on RedHat (strange actually). Suse Manager, RedHat Sattelite and Puppet are too expensive. So the next thing is a local repo manager, and that's where i came across Pulp, because I don't want a server for Suse, Redhat, debian etc...
Maybe Pulp can download the repo's and client servers can download them from the Pulp server to install the latest packages?

you can find tools to mirror both deb and rpm repositories, they are relatively simple nad free.
