Description Elise Gafford 2014-12-19 22:20:11 UTC

Description of problem:

It is necessary for RHOS 6 Sahara's intended usage flow for RHEL 6 images to be built in RHEL 7 using diskimage-builder. However, the current rhel-common element's handling of repository injection does not allow the default rhel-7-server repo to be removed. With modifications to the codebase to remove this repo, RHEL 6 images can be successfully built and subscribed.

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

diskimage-builder-0.1.34-18


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download current official RHEL 6 guest image qcow2.
2. Specify (substituting appropriate paths):
   export REG_REPOS="rhel-6-server-rpms rhel-6-server-optional-rpms"
   export BASE_IMAGE_FILE=rhel-guest-image-6.6-20140926.0.x86_64.qcow2
   export DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES=file:///root
3. Run:
   disk-image-create "rhel"

Actual results:

Repository rhel-7-server cannot be attached to RHEL 6 instance (appropriate, but unavoidable in current codebase.)

Expected results:

No attempt to attach rhel-7-server repository is made.

Comment 2 Elise Gafford 2015-07-06 21:32:51 UTC

This is WAI for the element in question, which has two separate code paths, governed by two separate sets of env vars, for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. While this is an instance of a pretty severe antipattern, it's not technically a bug. Closing.
