Issues with Software Collections on RHEL 6
I'm sure I'm just missing a step or three, but I'm unable to see any packages in the software collection repo and actually I don't think I'm seeing the correct repo. My SC is still labeled with the word -beta- in the title. That seems odd.
I've attempted to re-run system registration and updates, but nothing seems to change. I can pull my premium repos like rhel-6-server-rpms or rhel-6-server-optional-rpms, but not the software collect.
This is what I see when listing all repos. I see no packages in the beta version.
yum repolist all
rhel-server-rhscl-6-beta-debug-rpms Red Hat Software Collections Beta Debug RPMs for Red disabled
rhel-server-rhscl-6-beta-rpms Red Hat Software Collections Beta RPMs for Red Hat E enabled: 0
rhel-server-rhscl-6-beta-source-rpms Red Hat Software Collections Beta Source RPMs for Re disabled
How to I obtain the updates repo list?
I'm still new to the RH subscription tools.
I've re-subscribed using the suscription-manager tool but nothing seems to change.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
You may need to attach a subscription that actually includes the right repo. Have you tried to follow the steps outlined in the Getting Access to Red Hat Software Collections chapter of the RHSCL Release Notes? It explains how to attach subscriptions and enable repos (both for the Subscription Manager and RHN Classic).
Well, the part about there being no packages in the beta repo is correct -- there really are no packages in that repo right now because the stable version (1.2) is released, and the next beta version has not yet been made available. However, it is strange that you cannot see the regular (non-beta) repo (i.e. rhel-server-rhscl-6-rpms).
As for the subscriptions, you're right, there's no separate subscription for RHSCL. However, just to be sure, you can check the following page which lists the various subscription levels that have access to RHSCL. It just may be that you're going to need to initiate a special request (see instructions on the linked page) to be granted access. How to access and download Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL) and/or Red Hat Developer Toolset (DTS)?
