Description of problem: When you create a composite content view, you need to update it separated from the CV of which it consits, what is not obvious Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.6 (not available to choose yet) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create 2 CV (i.e. one of them Puppet) 2. Create a composite one included two before 3. Update one of the CV Actual results: The Composite CV does not reflect the changes, even if the Puppet CV is set to lastest version Expected results: Composite CV is updated with the new versions. As an alternative: - A message is shown saying "This CV is part of a Composite CV, you need to update the latest too" As the preferred option: - You can choose in Composite CV either a version number or "Latest". In that last case it is automatically refreshed when a new version of the underlying content view is promoted, if you choose a number that version is kept in the composite. Additional info: Due to the fact that you can only assign one CV to a system, this mechanism would allow simpler management of the CV. For instance: - I generate a CV for Basic RHEL - I generate a CV for Puppet, this promotes very quickly compared to the former, and I can version it without having to update the former (good to know what I am doing and when) - I generate another CV for syncrhoniziation of my own packages, again lifecycle of this is complete separated from the others. - I add all of them into a Composite Content View and assign it to hosts. Whenever I do a change in some CV it is automatically reflected. If I want to keep functionality as of today I just choose one specific version for each underlying CV
