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 afox@redhat.com 2017-10-25 11:54:23 UTC

1. Proposed title of this feature request

Add support for ' --repofrompath=<repoid>,<path/url>' flag to repotrack

2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account: Citigroup (411070)
TAM customer: Yes
SRM customer: Yes
Strategic: Yes

3. What is the nature and description of the request?

The 'repotrack' component from yum-utils accepts the "-r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID" flags but does not accept the ' --repofrompath=<repoid>,<path/url>' flag that repoquery and repoclosure accept.

It would be beneficial for repotrack to accept 'repofrompath' as well.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

To allow downloading of packages not configured in /etc.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

By simply adding the functionality already present in repoquery and repoclosure.

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

Simply use the parameter to download packages.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

There is an implemented RFE for this feature against DNF.
Bug id is 1113384.

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

No.

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

No.

10. List any affected packages or components.

yum
yum-utils

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Yes
