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.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2012-04-27 17:37:12 UTC 
This is working as intended. We might restrict it to just the stuff in --list later, but for now, this is okay.
Comment 3 Milan Falešník 2012-07-25 10:40:33 UTC 
I found out that the input value should be somewhat limited.

When I issue command:
subscription-manager release --set="troll'd"

it accepts that.
But then I tried to install some packages and yum shouted:

Repository 'rhel-scalefs-for-rhel-6-workstation-beta-debug-rpms': Error parsing config: Error parsing "baseurl = "https://cdn.rcm-qa.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/workstation/6/troll'd/x86_64/scalablefilesystem/debug"": No closing quotation

on every repo entry. The ' messed it up.

Good place for some REPO injection ....
