Description Karel Volný 2013-10-31 15:11:37 UTC

Description of problem:
I've just did a network install from http://somethink...
After booting the system and trying to install some handy programs, yum complains that it has no repositories available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
recent nightly

How reproducible:
always?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a network install - during installation, fill in your_local_RHEL_copy_URL
2. reboot
3. yum install mc

Actual results:
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
There are no enabled repos.
 Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
 You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>

Expected results:
(yum installs mc from the same source as the one used for system installation)

Additional info:
oh, and in addition, "yum-config-manager" is not installed ... really funny :-)

Comment 2 David Shea 2013-10-31 15:49:48 UTC

RHEL 6 has the same behavior: network repos are not added by default, use subscription-manager to register.

> RHEL 6 has the same behavior

well ... things can change, we have brand new installer rewrite, why not to include this?

was a change proposed/discussed/rejected?
(sorry for reopening if it was)

would that be possible to have the repository config saved under /etc/yum.repos.d/ having the repository disabled by default so that nothing changes at the first sight?

Comment 4 David Cantrell 2013-12-11 15:16:02 UTC

Karel,

The request is valid, but software delivery for RHEL is much more complicated and involved in terms of company policy and such.  I want to keep this bug open and discuss possibilities during RHEL 7.1.

Comment 6 Brian Lane 2014-07-21 19:23:20 UTC

We have bug 1119867 which proposes adding a --install switch to the ks repo command. This limits it to addon repos and defaults to the current behavior so I think it's a good idea.
