The client packages are going to become available to all server customers as soon as the RHN profiles get updated. That takes some time as it is a major repull of data.
For python-imaging my proposal is to move it to the core server.
Did you open a ticket about this package with RH support?

That said, somebody really needs to verify what I was told earlier, which is customers of EL5Server can use RHN and subscribe to the Client channels and get the content. Perhaps not vice-versa, but in this case it should be enough. Before we go down the road of doom, lets verify whether or not 5Server customers can get access to python-imaging through RHN.
I don't think this is true. I have RHEL-5Server (academic) entitlement, and I don't see "Client" listed anywhere in my list of available software channels. I only see:
# RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) # RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) # RHEL Hardware Certification (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) # RHEL FasTrack (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) # Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Server (v.5 32-bit x86)
And "python-imaging" is definitely not available to me:
root@bakserv:[~]# yum list python-imaging Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories rhel-i386-server-5 100% |=========================| 1.4 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Finished
The situation may be different for those who paid full enterprise price for RHEL entitlements, but that doesn't change the fact that unless EPEL provides "client" packages, I'll be left with broken repositories. I will note, that it makes that much harder for me to justify paying money to RH if I can have a better service using Centos+EPEL.

Question: was the fact that python-imaging got introduced to RHELClient and not Server a conscious determination or was it a mistake? if it was a conscious determination, what are the policies that dictate when and how this occurs? and where can they be found?
