RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description
Add rhel7 and fedora 18 in recent OS options in virt-install manual

Version:
python-virtinst-0.600.3-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce
# man virt-install
    --os-variant=OS_VARIANT
         Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating system variant (ex. 'fedora8',
         'winxp'). This parameter is optional, and does not require an "--os-type" to be specified.

Values for some recent OS options are:
         ……
         fedora17             : Fedora 17
         fedora16             : Fedora 16
         fedora15             : Fedora 15
         ……
         rhel6                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
         rhel5.4              : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 or later
         rhel4                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
         ……

Actual results:
No rhel 7 and fedora 18 listed in recent OS options.

Expected results:
rhel 7 and fedora 18 listed in recent OS options.

Comment 4 luxin 2013-08-14 03:16:45 UTC
I can reproduce this bug:

Version:
python-virtinst-0.600.3-2.el7.noarch

Steps for Reproduce:
1.run # man virt-install

2.find --os-variant=OS_VARIANT part

Result:
After step 2
--os-variant=OS_VARIANT
         Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating
         system variant (ex. 'fedora8', 'winxp'). This parameter is optional,
         and does not require an "--os-type" to be specified.

         By default, virt-install will attempt to auto detect this value from
         the install media (currently only supported for URL installs).
         Autodetection can be disabled with the special value 'none'.

         If the special value 'list' is passed, virt-install will print the
         full list of variant values and exit. The printed format is not a
         stable interface, DO NOT PARSE IT.

         If the special value 'none' is passed, no os variant is recorded and
         OS autodetection is disabled.

         Values for some recent OS options are:
         ......
         fedora17             : Fedora 17
         fedora16             : Fedora 16
         fedora15             : Fedora 15
         ......
         rhel6                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
         rhel5.4              : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 or later
         rhel4                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
         ......
No rhel 7 and fedora 18 listed in recent OS options.


Verify:
virt-manager-0.10.0-1.el7

Steps for Verify:
1.run # man virt-install

2.find --os-variant=OS_VARIANT part

Result:
After step 2
 --os-variant=OS_VARIANT
         Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating
         system variant (ex. 'fedora18', 'winxp'). This parameter is optional,
         and does not require an "--os-type" to be specified.

         By default, virt-install will attempt to auto detect this value from
         the install media (currently only supported for URL installs).
         Autodetection can be disabled with the special value 'none'.

         If the special value 'list' is passed, virt-install will print the
         full list of variant values and exit. The printed format is not a
         stable interface, DO NOT PARSE IT.

         Use '--os-variant list' to see the full OS list

Then # virt-install --os-variant list
......
fedora19             : Fedora 19
fedora18             : Fedora 18
fedora17             : Fedora 17
fedora16             : Fedora 16
......
rhel7                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
rhel6                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
rhel5.4              : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 or later
rhel5                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
rhel4                : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
......
rhel 7 and fedora 18 listed in recent OS options.
