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 Denis Volkov 2020-09-24 07:59:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently lorax-composer does not support adding the packages that are not in default streams. 

For example, instruction on installing ipa-server:
    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/installing_identity_management/preparing-the-system-for-ipa-server-installation_installing-identity-management

Commands include the following commands:
    yum module enable idm:DL1
    yum module install idm:DL1/server

But there is no way currently to enable additional streams and as a result, no way to add the package from non-default streams.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lorax-composer-28.14.42-2.el8_2.x86_64

Additional info:
There is also KCS about adding packages in kickstart answer file:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5170291

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2021-01-25 16:51:50 UTC
Non-default streams are difficult to support since the switch is system-wide. With anaconda you are running one instance on the system being installed, so switching streams is fine. With lorax-composer you may have several depsolves happening at the same time, so switching streams for one of them would interfere with all of them. osbuild-composer is replacing lorax-composer in 8.4 and has a different architecture so it may be possible to allow non-default streams but it is going to require a bunch of work, both to the depsolving  process and to the blueprints that define what to install. Currently the blueprint only has provisions for modules (currently mapped to packages) and not for stream selection.

Comment 4 Steve Barcomb 2021-09-17 21:50:19 UTC
The only customer case attached this bug closed due to automation.  I will mark this bug closed as well.  If there is further interest in this bug please reopen it with a matching open support case.
