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.

Description Andrew Kofink 2016-12-08 19:59:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently, a non-recursive errata unit_copy only copies the errata without the packages included in the errata. A recursive copy copies the packages included in the errata as well as their dependencies. There is no way to copy the errata and its included packages without the package dependencies.


Additional info:
I'm honestly not sure if there's even a use case for non-recursive errata copy, since the packages that address the errata are not available in that case. I would be interested in learning what that use case might be.

Comment 2 Michael Hrivnak 2016-12-13 21:46:58 UTC
We can add this behavior to pulp, but I am hesitant to add an upstream story if the use case isn't certain here. Could we get a stronger vision of what use case this would facilitate, and how important that is?

I set the priority and severity to unspecified until we get more information.
