The code here is to blame:


/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/rhsm/pathtree.py


            if words[0] in tree:
                words_to_try = [words[0]]
            else:
                # we allow any word to match against entitlement variables
                # such as "$releasever".
                words_to_try = [word for word in tree.keys() if word.startswith('$')]



Essentially it matches on 7Client first, and ignores the checking for things starting with '$'

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

I've hit the same issues with "Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agents for RHEL 6 Server RPMs x86_64 6Server" repository

interesting, I do not see this using susbcription manager against hosted. Are you sure the extras repo is actually publishe?

I assume this is because hosted is not using python-rhsm to validate clients.  Alikens wasn't even aware that this code was used by anyone.

To clarify this isn't a client side issue even though it is with python-rhsm.  Pulp uses python-rhsm to validate client access to repos.

There are two possible fixes for this:

a) Fix python-rhsm to do the correct behavior
b) modify the content within the product to include $releasever

if b) is not an option we'll likely need to patch python-rhsm and build a custom version for satellite 6 GA.

*** Bug 1126318 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

looks like the upstream bug is ON_QA, can we move this to ON_QA as well?

Well that version of python-rhsm is on_qa for rhel 6.6, so in order to test this we'd need to ensure that that version of rhsm is installed. And until 6.6 is released we'd have to ship that version with Sat 6 and make it a requirement.

    1120431: Support for complex path matching.
    
    RHUI is using this code server side. It was having issues matching paths such as
    /one/$release/two
    /one/three/four
    
    with the strings
    
    /one/three/two
    
    The issue was that the old algorithm would look at the second node, match the three, and
    not use the wildcard of the $release. The new alogithm fixes this.

I do not believe this is actually ON_QA as this requires an update to python-rhsm which i do not see in the latest snap.  (I'm under the impression that we need to ship our own patched release of python-rhsm for this to be resolved).

In addition satellite needs an rpm requires to pull in the new version (as it will be already installed by default).  We can't know what version to add as a requires until its built in brew. Moving back to POST

python-rhsm-1.12.5-1.el[67] were tagged in this morning.

Tested with Sat6-GA-snap7
