Please note that as of now, the EL6 nightly repos (and subsequently,
Foreman 1.4) require software collections from an external repo
instead of being supplied by us.
Previously we had an old build of RHSCL (pre 1.0 GA) available in our
repos, which was out of date and incompatible with the real thing.
As of today, RHEL users must enable the RHSCL repository like they do
with RHEL 6 Optional (we should automate this later, as discussed):
CentOS and Scientific Linux users may use the installer as-is, which
will configure the respective SCL rebuild repos for these distributions.
This behaviour can be disabled with the --foreman-configure-scl-repo
installer option. I'll document this in the 1.4 manual in due course.
Sorry for any disruption, but hopefully we've kept it to a minimum.
Thanks for everybody's help implementing this big change.
It should be noted that access to the RHSCL repositories on RHN is
typically restricted. More information and instructions on how to request
access can be found at [1].
You must also have at least a "standard" entitlement to request access.
RHSCL repositories are not included in the "self-support" entitlements for
RHEL Server.
