Description

We should ensure that the --quantity option is mutually exclusive with the --auto option. This handling was changed in commmit 281c1e5818eefa89bc73ba438c75494e16afc698 in repsonse to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1275179 Plese re-evaluate. Now help message is modified but would have been nice if the message would have been " --quantity=QUANTITY number of subscriptions to attach; only used with --pool" in sync with other modules
[root@dell-pe1850-04 ~]# subscription-manager attach --help | grep quantity -A1
--quantity=QUANTITY Number of subscriptions to attach. May not be used
with an auto-attach.
Here are some suggestions for the help message... [1] "Number of subscriptions to attach; only used with --pool" [2] "Number of subscriptions to attach. May not be used with an auto-attach." [3] "Number of subscriptions to attach; cannot be used with --auto" [4] "Number of subscriptions to attach when specifying a --pool that is multi-entitleable" My vote is to stick with the the currently implemented message [2] and move this bug to VERIFIED. I concur with jsefler This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here: http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL: https://access.redhat.com/ Preliminary Verification Comment:
