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.

Description Matt Reid 2012-11-13 22:31:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are a few strings in 'subscription-manager help' that we should clean up if we have time. 

The register and unregister module descriptions are the only ones that don't start with a capital letter. These strings, along with a few others, also end with a '.' while the majority of the description strings do not. We should remove the periods at the end of the strings that have them, and ensure that all strings start with their first word capitalized. Finally, we should spell out the abbreviations we use in some of the descriptions to be the full word (orgs -> organizations, repos -> repositories, os -> operating system).

Register/unregister are also the only 2 times we use client, didn't check for that when I went through the System bz, so we should take this opportunity to replace 'the client' with 'this system'.

#: ../src/subscription_manager/branding/redhat_branding.py:7
msgid ""
"register the client to the Customer Portal or another subscription "
"management service."
1. "Register this system to the Customer Portal or another subscription management service"

#: ../src/subscription_manager/branding/redhat_branding.py:8
msgid ""
"unregister the client from the Customer Portal or another subscription "
"management service."
2. "Unregister this system from the Customer Portal or another subscription management service"

"List, set, or remove the configuration parameters in use by this system."
3. "List, set, or remove the configuration parameters in use by this system"

5. "Display the organizations against which a user can register a system"

Comment 3 Matt Reid 2012-11-15 15:42:20 UTC 
I just did a git pull and built rpms this morning, and while I see most of the changes, I still see the config module's description (#3 above) and list's description (#4) with a period at the end. Rest of it looks good!
