Description of problem: Sometimes the syntax for ks template files changes in new Satellite releases. For example: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3687121 Even though they might be documented in kb articles and release notes, most customers are not able to be on top of that. This means that, for those customers who have many custom templates, this is very disruptive. Since we already have tools to check the templates' syntax, it would be good to have such tools check the customer's templates and report required changes. Possibly, even propose automatic remediation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create custom templates 2. Upgrade to a Satellite version that carries changes to the template files syntax 3. No warning is displayed at upgrade time 4. Provisioning fails Actual results: Provisioning fails if the syntax is not updated. Expected results: The installer to detect incompatible template files and notify the user, plus propose automatic remediation. Additional info:
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
