Bug #10516

Hide parameters in the installer that are not relevant to Katello (i.e. Foreman mysql options)
Description
On RHEL7 systems MariaDB is the default DB rather than MySQL. However katello-installer is trying to install MySQL when --foreman-db-type=mysql is set.
Here is the relevant snippet from /usr/share/katello-installer/modules/mysql/manifests/params.pp
case $::osfamily {
'RedHat': {
if $::operatingsystem 'Fedora' and (is_integer($::operatingsystemrelease) and $::operatingsystemrelease >= 19 or $::operatingsystemrelease "Rawhide") {
$client_package_name = 'mariadb'
$server_package_name = 'mariadb-server'
} else {
$client_package_name = 'mysql'
$server_package_name = 'mysql-server'
}
So installer should also install mariadb and mariadb-server packages when operatingsystem is Redhat (or CentOS) and operatingsystemrelease is 7. Because in RHEL7 repos there is no mysql and mysql-server packages.

Katello does not support MySQL at the moment, maybe the mysql module should be removed from katello-installer until this is tackled...
Standalone Foreman without Katello is working just fine with MySQL.

Ok, thanks. I was following katello-installer --help
--foreman-db-type Database 'production' type (valid types: mysql/postgresql/sqlite) (default: "postgresql")

Oh, I see... that's a parameter of the foreman module, that's explaining the original problem.

Foreman is dropping support for MySQL database - see https://community.theforeman.org/t/rfc-dropping-support-for-mysql/14185 for further details. This means also the related installer options will be removed. Closing this issue.
