Description of problem: ================================= During testing we noticed that there is a version inconsistency between rhel-5 and rhel-6 version numbers within a oz xml template. For rhel-5 update 7, you specify a template with: <name>RHEL-5</name><version>U7</version>. Notice the 'U' in the version tag. This differs from rhel-6.1 which uses: <name>RHEL-6</name><version>1</version>. The U is not intuitive. Fairly sure we should either ignore it or make it work both ways for whichever version is being installed. This is a spinoff of bug 749622... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ================================================================= imagefactory-jeosconf-ec2-rhel-0.8.0-1.fc15.noarch oz-0.7.0-3.fc15.noarch imagefactory-0.8.0-1.fc15.noarch rubygem-imagefactory-console-0.5.0-4.20110824113238gitd9debef.fc15.noarch imagefactory-jeosconf-ec2-fedora-0.8.0-1.fc15.noarch
Not clear to me that this is a bug, as there are fairly random descriptors for the various OS versions. Bouncing this to icmleod for confirmation. Assuming I'm right, this likely should get documented, specifically, we should be able to document what all the right specs are for all the right supported OS versions. Cc'ing mitch to confirm that.
This doesn't sound like a bug but more of a presentation issue since the users, in the future, probably won't be editing the template directly. The TDL will work with whatever format is used in the template creation. Katello should try and present the user with a unified format for all revs of RHEL and then create a properly formatted template whether it contains the 'U' or not. Added Todd Warner to the list.
From an imagefactory perspective, this is simply reduces to document what the naming convention is across the board (just provide a list of how it is expected to specify minor releases for RHEL 5 vs RHEL 6).
This is already documented in our WIKI page here: https://www.aeolusproject.org/redmine/projects/image-factory/wiki/Documentation TDL is an internal interchange format. It need not be user friendly. As this seems to be causing some heartburn as we try to wind up our final sprint, I am closing this as NOTABUG.
