Description Mario Torre 2017-08-07 12:36:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

I tried to install the rh-mongodb32 collection, after enabling rhel-workstation-rhscl-7-rpms, but the collection only carries a minimal set of packages, which doesn't give me a fully functional mongo (i.e. the mongo binary is missing, but mongod is present):

 rh-mongodb32-boost-chrono
 rh-mongodb32-boost-filesystem
 rh-mongodb32-boost-program-options
 rh-mongodb32-boost-regex
 rh-mongodb32-boost-system
 rh-mongodb32-boost-thread
 rh-mongodb32-libstemmer
 rh-mongodb32-mongodb-server
 rh-mongodb32-mozjs38
 rh-mongodb32-runtime
 rh-mongodb32-yaml-cpp
 
I tried this on a RHEL 7.4 Workstation, fresh install from DVD. I'm not sure if this is intentional though, according to this guide:

https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-mongodb32/

I should be able to just install rh-mongodb32 and then run "mongo". It appears that the rh-mongodb32 should at least install also  rh-mongodb32-mongodb and perhaps the rh-mongodb32-mongo-tools, or in alternative, the guide on the website should be changed to reflect that we need to manually install those packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rh-mongodb32 on RHEL 7.4.

How reproducible:

Always, at least on a fresh install.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo yum install rh-mongodb32
2  $ scl enable rh-mongodb32 bash
3. $ mongo

Actual results:

bash: mongo: command not found...

Expected results:

mongo should start.

This was designed deliberately this way, because there may be cases when user only wants the server package be installed (when accessing the database from another node and when no unneeded software should be installed due to saving disk space and avoid potential security risk).

We don't have soft dependencies in RHEL-7 which would make mongo binary installed by default and still allow users to uninstall it. On the other hand having normal dependency in the meta package, users would still be able to install only the server (they would install just the rh-mongodb32-mongodb-server package by name, without installing rh-mongodb32 meta package). So this way we would get to sane default and still allow installing it.

Yes, that makes totally sense. The website should probably be updated to reflect that though, since the instructions are confusing otherwise. It doesn't seem to be a wiki or I would do it myself.
Comment 4 Mario Torre 2017-08-08 09:46:53 UTC 
Btw, I don't know why I marked the bug private, that was a mistake on my part, can we set it public and visible to all?
Comment 5 Marek Skalický 2017-08-11 05:27:13 UTC 
OK. I've set it to public.
Comment 6 Marek Skalický 2017-09-27 13:14:06 UTC 
This bug will be fixed in rh-mongodb34. Thanks Mario for reporting this.

Leaving this bug open for rh-mongodb32.
