Description Pavel Moravec 2016-10-03 07:22:22 UTC

Description of problem:
Enabling-disabling a (Red Hat) repository contains lots of spinning hourglasses and is irritatingly slow. One such slowness comes form the fact katello contacts _sequentially_ and _everytime_ CDN to get some repos info:

(debugs in production.log):

Please either:
- make the calls parallel (why each one takes 2seconds and is made sequentially?)
- or cache the data locally until manifest is updated (such that the calls dont need to be repeated next time)
- or both

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2016-12-16 17:59:57 UTC

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17696 has been resolved.

Comment 7 Daniel Lobato Garcia 2016-12-16 18:03:09 UTC

Proposing to 6.2.z as the change is quite small

Comment 8 Jonathon Turel 2017-08-09 20:08:06 UTC

Between this and another BZ addressed this page is much faster now. I can expand and enable repos in seconds.

Verified on Sat 6.3 Snap 10 => satellite-6.3.0-16.0.beta.el7sat.noarch
