Bug #8275
closedErrata info CLI query too complex
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910078
Description of problem:
Getting errata info on a particular errata using the katello CLI seems overly complex. It's much quicker to do a web search for errata info than to use the katello CLI.
Katello CLI tools require not only the errata ID, but also repo name and product or product ID. A sysadmin needs to copy the errata ID from step 1, copy the repo from step 2 and copy the product list from step 3 and paste this into step 4. This is difficult if the lists are long. # katello -u admin -p ** errata system_group --name=<my_sys_grp> # katello -u admin -p ** repo list --org=<my_org> # katello -u admin -p ** product list # katello -u admin -p ** errata info --repo="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server RPMs i386 6.3" --product="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server" --id=RHBA-2011:1395
In contrast, the first hit from a web search on "RHBA-2011:1395" returns http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1395.html
