Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Moving this to Repositories component since the bug is not actually is a hammer bug, but rather Katello API is missing description parameter for repositories creation via API.

Comment 4 Julio Entrena Perez 2020-03-19 16:05:36 UTC
Oleh, the web ui can add and display descriptions for custom repositories, doesn't the web ui use the API as well?

Comment 5 Oleh Fedorenko 2020-03-19 16:22:48 UTC
Julio,

I'm not sure how exactly Katello manages their UI, but in nightly API documentation (which is used by hammer) I don't see anything that could be used to add descriptions while creating/updating repositories through API.

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2020-04-22 20:20:49 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29555 has been resolved.

Comment 18 Stephen Wadeley 2020-09-11 15:01:13 UTC
Hello

while hammer repository create and hammer repository update now work with --description, there is no help output.
Raised this bug for that:

Bug 1878202 - No help output for hammer repository description

Thank you
