Description John Mitsch 2018-04-19 18:36:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

katello-service, katello-backup, and katello-restore functionality is going to be in foreman-maintain in 6.4. The original katello-* and satellite-* scripts will still live in 6.4, but we should deprecate them and remove them in 6.5 since they will be removed upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.4
Comment 2 John Mitsch 2018-04-30 20:11:51 UTC 
After a off-thread discussion, we have decided to remove the original katello-backup/restore scripts in 6.4 and deprecate them in 6.3.

Brad, can you update the flags for 6.3?
Comment 3 Mike McCune 2018-04-30 20:20:22 UTC 
this would be 6.3.z only with a DEPRECATION WARNING in the output of katello-backup/restore but have zero effect on the actual functionality of the 2 tools.
