Description Bhavna Sarathy 2012-01-17 15:00:38 UTC

HP would like to see exact version numbers for the components in RHEV-H, so that they can see how much of testing they can leverage from RHEL (identical components, versus kernel has changed slightly with 2 additional patches in kernel, 2 additional patches in libvirt in RHEV-H 6.x GA than in RHEL 6.x GA in those components).   Including the manifest file in the ISO would provide exact data to our partners.

Comment 2 Andrew Cathrow 2012-01-17 15:23:21 UTC

The manifest is already included in the ISO image in /isolinux.

one possible improvement would be to put this in the RPM outside of the iso

Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-01-17 15:32:41 UTC

Putting the manifest(s) in the rpm directly is not an easy fix, at least in an automated, repeatable way.  It might be doable with libguestfs, but that would take investigation.  The easiest way to achieve something like this would be to extract the manifests during rpm %post processing, but that's not ideal if someone extracts the rpm manually using rpm2cpio.

Can we see if HP is ok with the manifest in the ISO only?  I'd really rather not make this change unless it's a showstopper for HP.

As for knowing package differences between 6.x RHEL GA and 6.x RHEV-H GA, we ship *exactly* the same packages for kernel, libvirt, etc.

Comment 4 Bhavna Sarathy 2012-01-17 15:38:43 UTC

BethZ to update HP regarding RHEV-H manifest provided in the ISO.   We would rather not add this manifest in RPM.  Let's close this bug after gathering HP feedback.

Any updates on this?

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:23:12 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:47:42 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
