Description Amit Upadhye 2022-05-18 12:49:49 UTC
The self-upgrade mechanism deals with system repositories. This slows downs the overall self-upgrade command as it involves 'yum-config-manager' and 'subscription-manager' to enable and disable repositories. Instead of this the yum options are better choice which does not need to enable/disable system repositories and get the job done of updating packages.

Created from redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34937

Comment 2 Amit Upadhye 2022-05-18 12:49:56 UTC
Upstream bug assigned to aupadhye

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2022-05-19 16:04:56 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34937 has been resolved.

Comment 6 Gaurav Talreja 2022-07-18 14:14:12 UTC
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.11.1 Snap 2.0
Version: rubygem-foreman_maintain-1.0.14-1.el8sat.noarch

1. # foreman-maintain self-upgrade
2. Add repo for next major version maintenance repo under /etc/yum.repos.d/ for disconnected/testing environment.
3. # foreman-maintain self-upgrade --maintenance-repo-label sat-maintain 
OR
3. # MAINTENANCE_REPO_LABEL='sat-maintain' foreman-maintain self-upgrade

Observation:
By not dealing with system repos, like saving enabled repos into yaml, and enabling/disabling system repos, the new self-upgrade mechanism makes it easier to update satellite-maintain/rubygem-foreman_maintain packages with yum options.

When using rhsm repos in connected environment it uses yum options, for RHEL7 "--enablerepo=rhel-7-server-rpms --enablerepo=rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms --enablerepo=rhel-7-server-satellite-maintenance-6.12-rpms", whereas for RHEL8 "--enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms --enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms --enablerepo=satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms"

And for disconnected/testing environment it just uses yum options, for RHEL7 "--enablerepo=sat-maintain", whereas for RHEL8 "--enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms --enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms --enablerepo=sat-maintain_el8", where this RH repos shouldn't be enabled for el8, discussed this with Amit and created a separate BZ 2108169 to track
