Hi,
I tried to speak about this to Johnny at the end of the last CentOS Dojo in Brussels, but he have to go.
There is any chance that you to include subscription-manager in CentOS 6 ?
We use foreman/katello, all work out of the box for centos 7 but it's not easy to manage additional installation repos in foreman/katello to manage that in one generic kickstart template for our deployments (multiple DCs, with multiple repos mirrors per locations...).
As i see in the git repo of CentOS 7 [1], there is only few changes, like debranding. I see that redhat provides SRPMS for subscription-manager as well for RHEL6 [2] and versions of subscription-manager are are not so far from each other:
RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 : subscription-manager 1.15.9 RHEL 6 : subscription-manager 1.14.10
I didn't take a look deeper at this time, but if there is any chance that you decide to include subscription-manager in CentOS 6 base repo and installation tree like in CentOS 7, i can take a look deeper to see if patches that are made for C7 are compatible with RHEL 6 subscription manager, and if not, backport them to c6.
Have a nice day.

the main concern with SM was that it ships by default with a lot of resources pointing at *.redhat.com - if we can somehow disable those, it would make it easier to ship. I'll ping Johnny and see how he feels about this as well.
Any news on that ?
Yes i know that subscription-manager point to *.redhat.com, but i think you have modified this for the version of subscription-manager that you provide with CentOS 7, so i don't think that there is any major changes on that side for the version of subscription-manager provided by RHEL6. As i said, i can take a look at it more deeply but i want to know before taking this time if at the end you are ok to integrate it in CentOS 6 or not.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
