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). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2012:1543 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: CloudForms System Engine 1.1 update 2012-12-05 00:39:57 UTC

Description Corey Welton 2012-03-29 18:03:03 UTC 
Virtually every binary out there has a way to return version #, usually via -v and/or --version. Even 'ls'.  And 'yes'.

[cwelton@huajiao ~]$ yes --version
yes (GNU coreutils) 8.12

That we cannot appear to do the same via the CLI in katello cli seems like a small, but significant, oversight.


Current results:

# katello --version
katello: error: no such option: --version

# katello -v
katello: error: no such option: -v

# katello version
katello: error: Invalid command; please see --help

Expected results:
Something like

* katello --version

katello version 0.1.303-1.el6
Comment 1 Partha Aji 2012-04-10 18:53:25 UTC 
So after some discussions it was decided
katello -u <> -p <> --version
katello -u <> -p <> -v
katello -u <> -p <> version

 will use a new api call to figure out there server version and report it to the user.

Comment 3 Sachin Ghai 2012-05-15 05:54:48 UTC 
Verified with following katello build:

[root@perceptor ~]# rpm -qa | grep -ie katello-cli-0 -ie katello-0
katello-cli-0.2.33-1.el6.noarch
katello-0.2.35-1.el6.noarch

As per comment 5, katello version correctly displayed with following:

[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --version
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin -v
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin version
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --ver
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6
[root@perceptor ~]# katello -u admin -p admin --v
Katello 0.2.35-1.el6


Will test it against latest CFSE build too.
