RHEA-2019:2757 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated RHUI 3 packages that fix several bugs and one enhancement are now available.

Description

Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) is a highly scalable, highly redundant framework that enables you to manage repositories and content. It also enables cloud providers to deliver content and updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) instances. Based on the upstream Pulp project, RHUI allows cloud providers to locally mirror Red Hat-hosted repository content, create custom repositories with their own content, and make those repositories available to a large group of end users through a load-balanced content delivery system.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The rhui-manager tool displays a numbered list of items to choose from when managing repositories or nodes. This list is numbered from 1 to the total number of items, and the RHUI administrator is expected to enter one or more numbers adjacent to the managed items. However, when the administrator entered 0 for some reason, the last item from the list got selected by mistake, or nothing got selected but rhui-manager subsequently crashed. This has been fixed so that entering 0 has no effect. (BZ#1305612)
• The rhui command did not provide any error message and exited with a status of 0 when it was instructed to delete a CDS or an HAProxy node that was not registered in RHUI. With this update, an error message is printed, and the exit code is not 0. (BZ#1409697)
• An unnecessary error message was logged on CDS nodes when a legacy CA certificate was configured but a client machine used the primary CA certificate. This message is no longer logged. (BZ#1731856)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• When the rhui-manager tool displays repositories to delete or show detailed information about, it newly categorizes them as follows: Custom Repositories, Red Hat Repositories: Docker, Red Hat Repositories: OSTree, and Red Hat Repositories: Yum. This way the RHUI administrator can better understand which of the managed repositories belong in which category. (BZ#1402361)

Users of RHUI are advised to upgrade to these updated packages that fix these bugs and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
