Description Derek Higgins 2012-12-11 17:17:46 UTC

details of how todo this manually need to also be put into the docs

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #886177 +++

openstack-packstack needs to configure the openstack yum repository to have a higher priority then EPEL. 

If installed RHOS should have a higher priority.

Comment 2 Alan Pevec 2013-01-15 18:22:51 UTC

In theory, following should work:
$ yum-config-manager --setopt=rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms.priority=1 --save

but this fails on RHEL 6.4 with traceback:
  File "/usr/bin/yum-config-manager", line 154, in <module>
    writeRawConfigFile(fn, 'main', ybc.conf.yumvar,
AttributeError: 'YumConf' object has no attribute 'conf'

Next best option would be to use openstack-config which is a pretty much generic INI editor, and handles .repo files just fine:
$ openstack-config --set /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms priority 1

So in Guide, add in "1.2. Installing Utilities" after $ sudo subscription-manager list example box:

Install YUM priorities plugin:
$ sudo yum install yum-plugin-priorities

Raise priority of the Red Hat OpenStack Folsom repository:
$ openstack-config --set /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms priority 1

I did some poking and found that this actually appears to work:

yum-config-manager --setopt=rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms.priority=1 --save rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms

Further to that I found that by adding the instruction to install "yum-plugin-priorities" at the same time as "yum-utils" I was able to combine this into the step for enabling the repository in the first place (NB: --enable implicitly saves):

# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms --setopt="rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms.priority=1"
