Support

Hello,

i was looking at API for installing package on particular host, i have 2
packages, test-1.0.1.rpm and test.1.0.2, now i wan to install specific
release 1.0.1, i dont find API has option to pass NEVRA, is there anyway to
do that using API call ?

This looks critical to us, we have multiple release or rpms in a particular
repository and want to install specific release only, when i try with
hammer CLI i get

hammer --debug host package install --host test.example.com --packages
ems-1.0-3

:ems-1.0-3--.: No package(s) available to install
Error: :ems-1.0-3--.: No package(s) available to install

it does not understand how to pass Version/Release , i think for PULP it
works, so it should work here as well ?

Manually it works.

[root@test~]# yum install ems-1.0-3
Loaded plugins: package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos,
subscription-manager
my-repo
