The Content Host Page is displaying the OS for a 7.0 or 7.1 Clients as
"CentOS Linux 7", can anyone tell me from where Katello is getting this
info on the client and if this is a bug or worked as designed, I could not
find anything for that issue…

Info from Tab "Advanced Information" of an CentOS-7 Client
distribution
id Core
name CentOS Linux
version 7

Info from Tab "Advanced Information" of an CentOS-6 Client
distribution
id Final
name CentOS
version 6.6

thx,
Christian

I found out that Issue is related to the new file on CentOS7, whgich is
called "/etc/os-release"

Forgot to mention that its related to the VERSION_ID Field, so Bug is
related to CentOS and not Katello !!!

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release
VERSION_ID="7"

Bug Report #8555 has been opened at bugs.centos.org

Sorry for the amount nof posts, but Katello is of course relying on the
"subscription-manager facts" uploads which reads the mentioned file…
