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.

Doc Text:	.Ability to enable and disable the `libdnf` plugins Previously, subscription checking was hardcoded into the RHEL version of the `libdnf` plug-ins. With this update, the `microdnf` utility can enable and disable the `libdnf` plug-ins, and subscription checking can now be disabled the same way as in DNF. To disable subscription checking, use the `--disableplugin=subscription-manager` command. To disable all plug-ins, use the `--noplugins` command.	Story Points:	---

I prepared support for "--disableplugin=", "--enableplugin=", and "--noplugins" arguments into microdnf.
PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/microdnf/pull/63

It also needs support in libdnf:
PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/861

With the patches "subscription checking" can be disabled by "--disableplugin=subscription-manager" or "--noplugins".

Comment 3 Jaroslav Rohel 2020-01-09 08:51:56 UTC

PR were merged with upstream.
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/861
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/microdnf/pull/63
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/microdnf/pull/72

With the patches microdnf works similar as DNF.
The "subscription checking" can be disabled by command line argument "--disableplugin=subscription-manager".
Loading of all plugins can be disabled by command line argument "--noplugins" or in the configuration file (by default /etc/dnf/dnf.conf) by setting option "plugins=0".
