Feature request [RHEL] - Add release number automatically at the end of the reponame name (And URL)

Open Cloud-Kid opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Why ?

It will allow multiple release number repo creation and avoid to rename theme every time for each release

Example :

Let's take the "redhat-baseos" for instance if I want to download it for RHEL 8 & 9 I need to select only 8 first, snapshot it, and rename it to something like "redhat-baseos-8" then do the same for 9.

By automatically adding "-release" at the end of every rhel-like repo, it could benefit from :

  • Multiple release selection for download (Name won't be the same)
  • Easier differentiating
  • Easier integration with automation tools (If release 8 add url with "-8" at the end)

Let me know what you think.

I am not sure I understand it all but like https://github.com/lbr38/repomanager/issues/260 I think this will require a whole migration which I haven't started to work on.

Oh I guess you are speaking about #245 ? yeah, I guess It's basicaly the same ! But in this case you don't need any large rework, only append the "-releasenumber" at the end of every RHEL repos name and URL, but yes :)

I'm not sure but 5.0.0 might resolve this issue or a part of it. I'll let you test and tell me.

Thanks

You basically kind of did it, but better :) Nice work for latest version !

Using "/8" (Release) for instance in URL is a lot more pertinent.
