h3. Updating of pulp client binding Gems

Every two weeks on a Friday, a PR should be open against katello to bump the client gems.  A script is provided https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jlsherrill/836268d9ee9b33fc1fff06e9061db4f4/raw/7a1044725b00c44246fd241e9bed644c5fab6321/generate_pulp3_deps.rb to output the relevant requirements that can be put into katello.gemspec.

Example PR: https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/8294

If there are test failures, investigate and attempt to fix them.  VCR re-recording may be necessary. 

If there is some expected change, this process can be done more often.

We will ask for a volunteer the thursday prior to each friday.  Current Schedule:

Sept 6th

Sept 20th

Oct  4th

Oct 18th
