Branch: refs/heads/master Home: https://github.com/Katello/katello Commit: 27d783d85afb62ad6fcb73fd36a64691d976d988 https://github.com/Katello/katello/commit/27d783d85afb62ad6fcb73fd36a64691d976d988 Author: Tom McKay <thomasmckay> Date: 2012-05-14 (Mon, 14 May 2012) For testing: Change the Repository URL on the Red Hat Provider page to a bad url, then visit a system's Details page. Note error message in log and no choices when editing release version.
As a sysadmin I would like feedback as to why I see no releases in my Release Version drop down on my details tab when my cdn is unreachable. katello-cli-common-0.3.4-1.el6_2.noarch candlepin-0.6.5-1.el6_2.noarch katello-glue-candlepin-0.3.2-1.el6_2.noarch thumbslug-0.0.24-1.el6_2.noarch katello-configure-0.3.7-1.el6_2.noarch katello-headpin-all-0.2.11-1.el6_2.noarch katello-certs-tools-1.1.5-1.el6_2.noarch elasticsearch-0.18.4-11.el6.noarch katello-selinux-0.2.4-1.el6_2.noarch katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.noarch katello-common-0.3.2-1.el6_2.noarch katello-headpin-0.2.11-1.el6_2.noarch katello-cli-headpin-0.2.2-1.el6_2.noarch candlepin-tomcat6-0.6.5-1.el6_2.noarch CDN outages can occur and it could be that I have specified a bad cdn, I'd like to know that something is wrong to explain why I see nothing in my drop down. A blank drop down doesn't tell me anything.
