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.

In some situations you may not want to use any of the system provided repositories with lorax-composer. Most of the plumbing is already there, it just needs a cmdline switch to turn off copying from /etc/yum.repos.d/

Add --no-system-repos command to start it without any of the repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/, all repos will have to be added via the sources api or copied directly into /var/lib/lorax/composer/repos.d/

https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/526

Tried running manually lorax-composer --no-system-repos with and without repo files under /var/lib/lorax/composer/repos.d/.
When no repos available I can't start the compose, when I define repos under /var/lib/lorax/composer/repos.d/ composer is able to depsolve and proceed with building the compose. Moving to VERIFIED.
