Description Taft Sanders 2021-06-17 16:13:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
With a name change to a repository that is enabled on a Satellite comes a great number of issues like:
- Manual manifest refresh is needed for updated subscriptions
- Manual removal of the repository from all content views are needed
- Manual removal of the repository is needed
- Manual enablement and sync of the new repository
- Manual implementation to each content view where the repository was previously included
- Publish and promotion of each content view with a newly added repository name

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Satellite 6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Red Hat repository names/lables are not editable items on Satellite. Any name change to a repository that has a matching URL requires the process mentioned above.

Expected results:
Red Hat repository name changes should happen without interruption to the Satellite user.

Moving from Pulp to Content Views component.  This may not be the best component; however, there really isn't one that will address all of the areas impacted.

clearing need info as i think engineering has enough to fix, we are going to make sure a user can always disable these repos.

Associating upstream redmine and moving to POST as the upstream PR is merged.

Steps to retest:

1. Upload manifest
2. On CLI, enable several repos with --basearch "x86_64"
3. Run db command to check the 'arch' of each enabled repo
4. Disabled and re-enabled the repos again on UI
5. Recheck db for the 'arch' column of each re-enabled repo

Expected:
Repos should still be able to be disabled and re-enabled without issues

Actual:
Repos are disabled and re-enabled on the UI without issues.  This is true even if it's x86_64 or has noarch.

I've tested this with both repos that has noarch and ones with x86_64 via both the CLI and UI and both can be disabled and re-enabled without issues.

Verified on 6.12.0 snap 3
