[Spacewalk-list] RHEL 8 AppStream repo on Spacewalk 2.9

[Richard]

Hi all,

I have created a RHEL 8 distribution with the following parameters:

Label: rhel-8.0-release-x86_64-dvd
Tree Path: /path/to/rhel-server-8.0-x86_64
Installer Generation: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Directly under /path/to/rhel-server-8.0-x86_64 I have the RHEL 8 DVD content:

AppStream  EULA              images      RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta
BaseOS     extra_files.json  isolinux    RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
EFI        GPL               media.repo  TRANS.TBL

I created a RHEL 8 profile using a RHEL 8 base channel and selecting the following:

Available Trees: rhel-8.0-release-x86_64-dvd

The generated kickstart contains the following:

url --url http://spacewalk/ks/dist/org/2/rhel-8.0-release-x86_64-dvd
repo --name=AppStream --baseurl=http://spacewalk/ks/dist/org/2/rhel-8.0-release-x86_64-dvd

A client using the generated kickstart file fails because the AppStream repository appears to be incorrect.  If I manually modify the repo line in /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/rhel-8_0-x86_64-dvd--2.cfg as follows then the installer will complete:

repo --name=AppStream --baseurl=http://spacewalk/ks/dist/org/2/rhel-8.0-release-x86_64-dvd/AppStream

I've not defined 'AppStream' in any configuration areas, so I presume Spacewalk is generating this automatically.  Any idea why it might be generating an invalid URL?

Many thanks,

Richard.
