Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2010-11-12 18:31:11 UTC

With rhel6, we now have -debuginfo subchannels.  While trying that
out, I came across the failure of yum-builddep on rhel5 and rhel6 
to give any data at all, complaining that it could not find any
.src packages.  Looking at the rhn web interface, unlike fedora's,
there appear to exist no -sources subchannels.

Please consider spawning those -sources subhannels.  The individual
package views (e.g. [1]) already have .src.rpm download links, so the
data must be somewhere within RHN already.  Please expose them to yum.

As you may already be aware, Red Hat is transitioning from the Red Hat Network (RHN) hosted interface to the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) interface in July 2017. Red Hat has invested in and seen success from RHN for many years, and used that experience to build more robust technologies like RHSM. 
 
If you have not yet migrated your RHN systems to RHSM or you are a Red Hat Satellite customer, please review the information from. https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#migration. 
 
Since we are shutting down RHN, no further actions will be taken with this bug or enhancement request.  You can find additional information at RHSM product page (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management).  If you have further questions, please contact support (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#support).
