foreman-release repo files don't include versions in repo ids, requiring yum clean before an update
Status:
New

Description
Currently, the repo files we ship in foreman-release don't contain the Foreman version in the repo ids, thus making yum think it's "the same" repository after the release package was updated. This makes it necessary to call "yum clean" after updating foreman-release and before updating to a new Foreman release.
I had created a PR to fix that (https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/pull/5316) but Ewoud pointed out that this will require additional changes to Puppet which also can manage repos to be in sync.

This only affects EL7 and dnf on EL8 does it right.

Given that I'm suggesting we sit it out until we stop supporting EL7.
