Description of problem: Package rhnmd for RHEL5 is only in i386/x86_64/ia64 RHN Tools channels. ppc and s390x variants of the channel are missing this package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhnmd-5.3.7-1.el5sat.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a look at https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/packages/details/Overview.do?pid=598760 Actual results: In section "Available From:" on that page: Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Client (v.5 32-bit x86) Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Client (v.5 64-bit x86_64) Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Server (v.5 32-bit x86) Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Server (v.5 64-bit Itanium) Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Server (v.5 64-bit x86_64) [...] Expected results: ppc and s390x channels should be there as well. Additional info: Please note also some EUS and LL channels are missing there. Is rhnmd supported on ppc and s390x archs? This is related to bug 668491.
Hello Cliff, is there any reason we do not have rhnmd (which is noarch) on those arches? I mean, we seem to have the thing built, so it might just as well be a matter of pushing it. In the past, the package was an arch package ... up until rhnmd-5.3.0-4.el5sat. With rhnmd-5.3.0-5.el5sat, which we shipped in errata https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0389.html we switched to noarch. The thing is, that errata shows that we've pushed the .el4sat packages to those arches (for RHEL 4) but we did *not* ship the .el5sat for RHEL 5. And that presumably set the things for all future pushes. Do we want the latest noarch pushed to those extra arches? Do we want to just silently push or do errata? If errata, it would probably require package respin. Will it require some QA effort? Is this really a sat54-errata material? Jan
