Ummm +1 I guess. Not sure why Red Hat isn't keen to do this... Moving to 7.5 because we don't have the infrastructure in place to make this happen. Mainly it will require RHN to publish some kind of automated information about available cloud images. There are also likely to be issues with passing authentication credentials from the host to RHN. What would it take to make this happen? Assuming that the host machine is enrolled with subscription-manager, and has an appropriate pool attached, it seems like the disconnect is the Enabled Repos. virt-builder could call subscription-manager to enable the appropriate repos just during the build call.

The idea was the index files (for virt-builder repositories) are distributed via CDN, so you need to authenticate with it to fetch them, and also to fetch the actual disk images. This is because the files are not RPMs, so `subscription-manager` + `yum download` will not work. So subscription-manager will not help in this case, since virt-builder would need to interact with the CDN (with certs, etc) on its own, or using some existing library. Basically it needs someone to publish metadata in a format which virt-builder can read. Here's an example: http://builder.libguestfs.org/index.asc Here's the documentation: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#create-the-templates After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened. After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened. My apologies, this bug was closed by a broken process that we do not have any control over. Reopening. Bulk update: Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release. Not enough capacity / interest; closing as WONTFIX. |
