DEPRECATED
- Removed in:
version 10.0.0
- Why:
RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years ago, and Spacewalk 5 (which uses RHN) is EOL since 2020, May 31st; while this module could work on Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of Spacewalk 5), we have not heard about anyone using it in those setups.
- Alternative:
Contact the community.general maintainers to report the usage of this module, and potentially step up to maintain it.
