Description of problem: Subscribing manually through the CLI simply repeats the pool id they input as confirmation. It would be nicer if we translated that pool id back to a subscription name for them or also displayed it in some fashion. My assumption is that subscription names are more easily recognizable than pool ids. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-1.0.0-1.git.19.46c8d80 Steps to Reproduce: 1. subscription-mananger list --available 2. copy pool id 3. subscription-manager subscribe --pool=[paste pool id] Actual results: [user@sys]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=[poolid] Successfully consumed a subscription from the pool with id [pool id]. [user@sys]# Expected results: [user@sys]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=[poolid] Successfully consumed a subscription for [subscription name] from pool id: [pool id]. [user@sys]# or [user@sys]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=[poolid] Successfully consumed a subscription for [subscription name]. [user@sys]# Additional info: I imagine there's not much we can do about pools, but it seems pretty painful to manually subscribe. What if they don't have a mouse and they're just ssh'd in? Is there a wizardy way they can copy/paste the pool id and not have to write it down somewhere else and then input it manually?
