It should be possible for a satellite customer to easily clone a Red Hat public channel for their own management. This is especially important for customers who want to manage a subset of packages from a Red Hat release, or want subtly different packages in their base channel. Currently, customers who want channels that are very similar to Red Hat base channels must reimport all of the packages by hand. We need to give them a better mechanism than this.
We've worked out some implementation details that need to be noted. A cloned channel must share the same entitlement restrictions as those of the original channel. Therefore: * A cloned channel will be placed in the same channel family as its original; * A cloned channel will be placed in its own org. This means that we'll have to check the following things VERY closely in QA: * Does syncing still work as expected? Does any nastiness crop up when syncing a channel that has clones? * Will the channel subscription limits work properly in the web interface with the cloned channels as well as the original? * Other things that I'm probably not thinking of now.
The above policy should now be in place in cvs.
This is Titan, not the web release (Titan Lite), reassigning.
This is more properly tracked both in Titan and in Titan Lite Point.
Changing broken dependency list here, associating with Titan web. Removing from Titan backend tracking.
This really just needs to be QA'd thoroughly in the context of Titan.
Making this a dependancy of the 3/24 release so it can see some QA time.
I'm guessing that the test interface for this would be on the satellite itself, rather than in the parent org - so there's really no way I can test this until I have a 4version of titan that I can build. Correct?
please indicate which pages on the website I should check to ensure these changes don't show up.
Sure: /network/software/channels/manage/edit.pxt 'Clone From' should not appear. /network/software/channels/manage/package_list.pxt /network/software/errata/manage/package_list.pxt /network/errata/manage/package_list.pxt Should only allow the user to view packages in channels that his org owns.
/network/software/errata/manage/package_list.pxt gives me a 404.
That's because I made it up. Just...uh...testing you...yeah, that's it. Try: /network/software/packages/manage/index.pxt
Looks good, over to QA.
ooh, pretty colors! https://rhn.webqa.redhat.com/network/software/packages/change_log.pxt?pid=41478 Account jkomenda
Disregard the previous post, have opened bug #87409 for non-XML-complient pages.This looks good in QA, so closing.
