Description of problem: The customer wants an erb report template for satellite future releases which will contain a number of packages available before and after the patching in the registered client machines.
Hello, Currently, there is a feature under console.redhat.com called Drift, which will do exactly what this customer is looking for. The customer can create a baseline with the current information, apply the patch and check/compare the status before and after installation. I believe it to be a great workaround for now. Could you confirm that? Thank you! Waldirio
Could this be solved by providing the report template that gives "current" state of things for hosts? Customer would then run the report before the patching event and afterwards and compare. The reason is, we don't keep historical package profiles. Also I'd be curious if Waldirio's recommendation in comment 1 is acceptable, that sounds as a good solution to me. If not, please also specify the exact report columns you'd expect to see in such report.
No feedback from customer, considering the RFE as not required anymore.
