Description Mike McLean 2007-05-11 18:29:48 UTC

Someone filed an issue with us because they could not find this package (which
was shipped for RHEL4) on rhn. They assumed it was missing. It is not missing,
but the web site does not properly show it in searches.

If I enter 'kernel-largesmp-devel' in the banner search box, select 'Packages'
and submit, I get the search form package and one result. The url for that
result is:
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/name_overview.pxt?package_name=kernel-largesmp-devel&channel_arch_ia32=channel-ia32&channel_arch_ia64=channel-ia64&channel_arch_x86_64=&search_subscribed_channels=
Note that this list only shows the ia64 packages.

If use the actual search form with options: kernel-largesmp-devel, 'Name only',
and select the arches 'IA-32', 'IA-64', and 'AMD64', I get a result that looks
the same but has this url:
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/name_overview.pxt?package_name=kernel-largesmp-devel&channel_arch_ia32=channel-ia32&channel_arch_ia64=channel-ia32&channel_arch_x86_64=&search_subscribed_channels=
Note that this url shows *no* packages.

Neither of these seems correct. It looks as of the form might be generating the
wrong url. Note in the first url, the option 'channel_arch_x86_64=' is blank
which seems to limit the search. The second url has this problem also and
additionally has 'channel_arch_ia64=channel-ia32' (note the mismatch) which
seems to keep the ia64 packages from showing up.

If I manually correct the url, I get:
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/name_overview.pxt?package_name=kernel-largesmp-devel&channel_arch_ia32=channel-ia32&channel_arch_ia64=channel-ia64&channel_arch_x86_64=channel-x86_64&search_subscribed_channels=
Which seems to show the right packages.  Of course, I wouldn't want a customer
to have to use such a workaround.

Seems to have been fixed at some point
