Describe the bug

repo_compare_html.sh is unable to compare RHEL_Beta_* repositories to Rocky_*_stg repositories because RHEL_Beta_* repositories cannot be accessed.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Clone this repository on a RHEL system with subscription.
  2. Attempt to run repo_compare_html.sh for a RHEL_Beta_* repository
  3. See error
[root@localhost repo_compare]# ./repo_compare_html.sh RHEL8_Beta_BaseOS Rocky8_BaseOS_stg
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS  436  B/s | 359  B     00:00

Expected behavior

repo_compare_html.sh should produce output similar to that found on the Rocky repocompare site.

System / Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: RHEL Workstation
  • OS Version: 8.4
  • Subscription: Active
  • Testing Repository

Update... I spun up a RHEL 8.5 Beta instance and re-ran repo_compare_html.sh there for the RHEL8_Beta_BaseOS repository without problems...

[root@localhost repo_compare]# ./repo_compare_html.sh RHEL8_Beta_BaseOS Rocky8_BaseOS_stg 2>&1 | tee test.out

<style>
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 90%;
}

...<snip>...

[root@localhost repo_compare]# grep openssl test.out
<tr> <td>openssl-1.1.1k-4</td>  <td>openssl-1.1.1g-15</td>  </tr>
<tr> <td>openssl-devel-1.1.1k-4</td>  <td>openssl-devel-1.1.1g-15</td>  </tr>
<tr> <td>openssl-libs-1.1.1k-4</td>  <td>openssl-libs-1.1.1g-15</td>  </tr>
<tr> <td>openssl-perl-1.1.1k-4</td>  <td>openssl-perl-1.1.1g-15</td>  </tr>

I then ran the full repo_compare_launcher.sh as well. In the Beta system the standard RHEL repository comparisons failed while the Beta ones did not.

[root@localhost repo_compare]# ./repo_compare_launcher.sh 2>&1 | tee ./repo_compare_launcher.sh.log

[root@localhost repo_compare]# grep Error ./repo_compare_launcher.sh.log
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'RHEL8_BaseOS':

...<snip>...

Thus, it seems the entitlement ID, which is used for access to the repos in the Redhat CDN, and/or repository definition includes information that is unique for the standard RHEL vs Beta repositories.

So, this may not be a bug as much as needing proper definition and/or documentation of requirement for where the comparisons are run. If you are in fact running all comparisons on a single system then there is something different about your Redhat entitlement than mine and that might need investigating.
