Assigning to Zac for review. Zac - comment #5 of BZ#1321177 calls out a similar need and provides some good information about this issue as well. What we need is some additional clarification based on the advice in that comment and in this bug to help users understand what to do. Hello I think this subject is better explained where manifests and repositories are covered. I do not see any of that in the Provisioning Guide. I have just done a review of all the places where manifests are covered here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1389768#c3 Perhaps the Content Strategist has a better idea. Thank you Hello, Thank you Stephen, I agree that it makes sense to explain this where we discuss using repositories. Section 4.5 in the Content Management Guide (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/content_management_guide/importing_red_hat_content#Importing_Red_Hat_Content-Selecting_Red_Hat_Repositories_to_Synchronize) already mentions these repos in the table detailing the repos that will be used in the sample scenario. I suggest adding a note following this paragraph: The relationship between products and specific repositories is connected through a cascading hierarchy. Select a product and this opens a list of repository sets for that product. Select a repository set and this opens a list of repositories that you can enable. For our scenario, select Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, then Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs), then enable Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server RPMs x86_64 7Server. This enables the latest RPM files for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. to explain the difference in the repositories and give the guidance that Lukas has suggested for using them. I realize that this puts the note only in the GUI instructions, but I'm reluctant to add the same description twice. The only other option I can see is to add the note to the table listing the repos being selected for the sample scenario. Does this seem a reasonable compromise to everyone? WFM thanks guys. Re-assigning to Sergei based on current availability. Sergei - see comment #5 for what is required in this bug, and let me know if you have any questions! These changes are now live on the customer portal. The way I understand this - kickstart repo is basically a "released DVD", you froze the distribution, add Anaconda to it, test it and then publish it. It never changes, updates go into "normal" 7.x or 7Server repos. |
