Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1174486
Exclude facter from oo-admin-yum-validator repos.ini
Last modified: 2015-01-08 10:34:57 EST
The latest versions of puppet require facter 1.7.0 or later and puppet versions 3.0-3.4 required 1.6.11. With yum priorities in place users cannot upgrade puppet to version 3.x as we ship 1.6.6 in our node repo, though it appears unused. If we add facter to excludes from repos.ini for oo-admin-yum-validator users will be able to upgrade to the version of facter of their choosing. However, this means that we're effectively removing the package for anyone that runs oo-admin-yum-validator. OSE depends on 'ruby193-facter' not 'facter', attempting to remove 'facter' from an all-in-one install does not show any dependencies. So this should be safe to do. Alternatively, perhaps we could just un-ship the 'facter' package from our channels?
Brenton, Can you think of any problems here?
(In reply to Scott Dodson from comment #1) > Brenton, > > Can you think of any problems here? This should be fine. I think only ruby193-facter is used now. Low ago I think some cartridges were relying on it and we probably failed to properly remove the package in newer versions of OSE in RHN.
Test case, on a node : oo-admin-yum-validator -a --role node rpm -Uvh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm yum install puppet-3.7.3 should fail with dependency issues Then upgrade oo-admin-yum-validator and repeat.
Check on openshift-enterprise-yum-validator-2.2.2-1.git.11.b13ec56.el6op.noarch scenario 1: 1. register rhsm 2. fix all problem with node role #oo-admin-yum-validator -a --role node <--snip--> Repositories have been found which are missing one or more required package exclusions. To prevent problems due to package conflicts, package exclusions are being set for the following repositories: rhel-6-server-rpms: tomcat6* jb-ews-2-for-rhel-6-server-rpms: httpd httpd-tools mod_ssl rhel-6-server-ose-2.2-node-rpms: facter 3. install puppet-3.7.3 #rpm -Uvh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm #yum install puppet-3.7.3 Can install puppet successfully. scenario 2: 1. register rhn 2. fix all problem with node role #oo-admin-yum-validator -a --role node <--snip--> To prevent problems due to package conflicts, package exclusions are being set for the following repositories: rhel-x86_64-server-6: tomcat6* rhel-x86_64-server-6-ose-2.2-node: facter 3. install puppet-3.7.3 #rpm -Uvh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm #yum install puppet-3.7.3 Can install puppet successfully. I think the fixed package should be openshift-enterprise-yum-validator-2.2.2-1.git.11.b13ec56.el6op.noarch, Do you think so ?
Ma, You're correct. I've changed the Fixed By field to reflect the actual package, previously it reflected the build/SRPM for the fix. -- Scott
