Description Rolf Rueck 2019-05-01 06:33:41 UTC

Description of problem:
The man page and probably product documentation of the subscription-manager does not specify which is the default behaviour of the list option.

As the output of the --installed parameter is identical to using the list option without additional parameter, documenting this in the mentioned places would help unfamiliar users of the tool to get a better understanding of the output.


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

1.21.10-3.el7_6


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager list > output1
2. subscription-manager list --installed > output2
3. diff output1 ouput2

Actual results:

man page (and documentation) does not specify the default behaviour of running the subscription-manager command with the list option 

Expected results:

man page (and documentation) shows under the explanation for the --installed parameter of the list option, that this is the default behaviour

Bumping this to RHEL 7.8 due to RHEL 7.7 capacity.

Comment 7 Rehana 2019-08-20 09:59:10 UTC

old man page content for list --installed in man page 
subscription management server: 2.7.5-1
subscription management rules: 5.37
subscription-manager: 1.24.13-1.el7

 --installed
      Lists  products  which  are currently installed on the system which may (or may not) have subscriptions associated with them, as well as products with attached subscriptions which may (or may not) be installed.


Verifying on :
=============
subscription management server: 2.7.5-1
subscription management rules: 5.37
subscription-manager: 1.24.15-1.el7

# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | grep 1705017
- 1705017: Show in man page that --installed is the default for the list

--installed
         Lists  products  which  are currently installed on the system which may (or may not) have subscriptions associated with them, as well as products with attached subscriptions which may (or may not) be installed. (default)

Based on the above observations moving the bug to verified.
