Description:

This update for rmt-server fixes the following issues:

  • Version 2.7.0
  • Allow to validate all versions when they are of the same product and arch.
  • De-register BYOS systems using RMT as a proxy from SCC.
  • De-activate a single product from a BYOS proxy system.
  • Add the handling of the BYOS systems that use RMT as a SCC proxy.
  • Add subscription support in RMT. RMT can now consume registration codes supplied when registering a system.
  • Add host's login header to API requests to SCC. If the information is available, RMT will send it on requests to attach the registration proxy to a host system in SCC.
  • Add extra check to product dependency on RMT API. Now, when a system tries to activate a module through RMT, if it requires a root product which is not activated, the activation will fail (bsc#951189).
  • Load global configuration only if it can be ready by the current process.
  • Handle special characters in package names (bsc#1189805)
  • Add release_stage to all api endpoints to allow external programm determine product stage. (bsc#1176628)
  • Fix broken links (bsc#1188043)
  • Additional debug output for mirroring subcommand with '--debug' flag.
  • Update translations.
