Plugins » Katello

Motivation:

With the switch to simple content access, it is no longer possible to limit the repositories from the "Default Organization View" using subscriptions.
Instead, any host consuming the "Default Organization View" will have access to all the repositories in Katello.
Host side enable/disable as the only point of restriction.

This is especially critical where license agreements do not allow making repos available on unlimited numbers of hosts, essentially rendering the "Default Organization View" unusable in such business contexts.

The Idea:

Add a new type of simplified content view ("Rolling") that allows passing latest synced content directly to consuming hosts (like the default organization view), but also allows this to be limited to arbitrary user chosen repo sets.
