[RFE] Alter List Order of Contract Selector
Last modified: 2013-01-07 22:52:06 EST
Description of problem: When we present the contract selector to users, it doesn't look like we tailor it to their system. When it shows on a VM, I get a Physical type offered to me as the first option, instead of a Virtual one. It would be nice if the first one offered was a Virtual type if they're running a VM, as they probably have more virtual entitlements than physical ones (possibly unlimited).
Fixed in subscription-manager master: bf7ee031eacbd0a1cac2ff40df94caad04a3cd1b and 8848d0be347548d3b1b4904223d8add09e75b1ba. Will appear in: subscription-manager-1.0.3-1 Virtual subs are sorted to the top. We can't really get much more fancy than this in terms of determining applicability.
