Feature #10975
closed
ability to configure a mirror list
Description
it would be nice, if katello could expose (API, ENC etc) a mirror list of all capsules which provide the same content, this would allow for a client to fetch from multiple capsules, ideally with priority too.

what exactly do you need? are you aware of yum mirror list functionality?

- Status changed from Need more information to Needs design
Forgot to submit my actual comment and perhaps 'needs design' might be a better option for this. The question would be where do we manage this from. This should be easy to show in the UI/API, but the part that needs information is how we handle this from the client perspective. Since Candlepin via subscription-manager generates the redhat.repo file where all configured repositories end up, we would need to figure out if Candlepin supports mirrorlists as an attribute to configure. We may also need to consider how we handle whether a client can even reach a particular other Capsule (perhaps we just don't care and let them try anyway). There may also be some Pulp functionality that knows how to or could handle this.

that sounds reasonable, I would suggest first to expose it via ENC as a parameter, maybe we could consider an alternative path to configure yum vs candelpin. this could also be a simple katello plugin as well.
