The subscription-manager dnf plugin is disabled by default as part of our debranding in both CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. c8: https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/580aca8629536c64577e6a443b9349ecb629cc17/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_850 c8s: https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/603dc4a304e237a71a056f674378ff5113a7f710/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_855 I don't know what caused it to be enabled on your system, but that is the way it currently ships.

In addition to subscribing RHEL systems to RHSM or Satellite, subscription-manager is also used to subscribe CentOS systems to Foreman+Katello deployments. https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/3.16/installation/clients.html (katello-host-tools requires subscription-manager) https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/3.16/user_guide/activation_keys/index.html On Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 2:06 PM Tony Schreiner <anthony.schreiner at bc.edu> wrote:> > On Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 2:00 PM Carl George <carl at redhat.com> wrote: > > > The subscription-manager dnf plugin is disabled by default as part of > > our debranding in both CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. > > > > c8: > > https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/580aca8629536c64577e6a443b9349ecb629cc17/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_850 > > c8s > > <https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/580aca8629536c64577e6a443b9349ecb629cc17/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_850c8s>: > > > > https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/603dc4a304e237a71a056f674378ff5113a7f710/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_855 > > > > I don't know what caused it to be enabled on your system, but that is > > the way it currently ships. > > > > On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 6:54 PM Tony Schreiner <anthony.schreiner at bc.edu> > > wrote: > > > > > > > > Sorry if I'm changing topic, But I'm curious, what is the use case for > subscription-manager in CentOS? > Tony > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Carl George
