for description of an issue with environment renaming.<br>
<br>
The immediate problems around environments: using of environment
names and environment ids for identification of environments
interchangeably. Using db ids for environment identification when
not using environment names.<br>
<br>
To resolve these: <br>
- introduce environment uuids<br>
- update katello/katello cli to use uuids for environment
identification<br>
- update repository naming to use environment uuids<br>
- update candlepin (this will include updates to schema, and
resource controller)<br>
<br>
<br>
The larger problem: Katello and Candlepin modelling of
products/product content/environments lost coherency. <br>
<br>
Candlepin's view of the above trifecta (use of a monospaced font is
encouraged for the content below):<br>
+-------------+ +--------------------+<br>
| Environment | 1 <--- * | EnvironmentContent |<br>
+-------------+ +--------------------+<br>
^<br>
| *<br>
| 1<br>
+---------+ +----------------+ <br>
| Product | 1 ---> * | ProductContent | <br>
+---------+ +----------------+<br>
<br>
<br>
same thing in Katello (with added pulp repositories):<br>
<br>
+-------------+<br>
| Pulp::Repos |<-----------------------+<br>
+-------------+ |<br>
^ |<br>
| uses |<br>
+----------------------------------+ | +-------------+<br>
| Candlepin::Product | | | Environment |<br>
| (uses Candlepin::ProductContent) | | +-------------+<br>
+----------------------------------+ | ^ <br>
| ^ | | 1<br>
|uses | uses | | <br>
| | | | *<br>
+---------+ +--------------------+ <br>
| Product | 1 ---------------> * | EnvironmentProduct | <br>
+---------+ +--------------------+<br>
| |1<br>
| |*<br>
| V<br>
| uses +------------+<br>
+------| Repository |<br>
+------------+<br>
<br>
<br>
I propose: <br>
- Rename EnvironmentProduct to ProductContent<br>
- make it use Candlepin::ProductContent<br>
- remove use of Pulp::Repos from Product<br>
- delegate responsibility of generation of environment uuids to
Candlepin (should cp folks agree on this) <br>
<br>
resulting in:<br>
<br>
+-------------+<br>
| Environment |<br>
+-------------+<br>
^ <br>
| 1<br>
| *<br>
+---------+ +----------------+ <br>
| Product | 1 ---> * | ProductContent |<br>
+---------+ +----------------+ <br>
|1 | uses<br>
| | +---------------------------+<br>
|1 +-> | Candlepin::ProductContent |<br>
V +---------------------------+<br>
+-------------+ uses +------------+<br>
| Pulp::Repos |<-----| Repository |<br>
+-------------+ +------------+<br>
<br>
I don't think many-1 relation is required on
Repository-ProductContent, it's 1-1? <br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts, concerns, opinions?<br>
