It is NOT universally true that the version of virt-who provided in the Satellite tools channel is the newest. Which version of virt-who the users gets is dependent on - the RHEL release cadence. - whether or not a newer version is _required_ to be shipped in the Satellite tools repo. As a general rule, the only time a new version of virt-who is shipped in the Satellite tools repo is when there are a number of fixes or enhancements that Satellite requires that are needed in a quicket cadence than the RHEL release cycle (every 6-8 months). As this scenarios cannot be known in advance, the only sane course of action to tell the end user is - on the system that runs virt-who, enable the Satellite Tools repo. - let yum pick _whichever_ package is the latest. Assigning to Misha for review. Misha - looks like we need to update the note in question to say that the virt-who package is available from either channel, and that the latest version, whichever repo it comes from, is the one that we should install. Hello, These changes are now live on the customer portal. Updating the doc type. |
