Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

In Satellite 6.2, we began to support lazy sync downloads. One of the possible lazy sync download policies was 'background' which downloads packages after an initial sync of the metadata. There are two shortcomings that would be nice to address:

1) Users cannot view the progress of the package downloads. It would be nice to clearly indicate when the downloading of packages in the background has begun and what the progress of that is.
2) If an error occurs and a package fails to download, we don't report the errors to the user (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318048).

It would be nice to allow users to access to this information somehow in the Satellite UI.
