[katello-devel] Content view definition command

[David Davis]

I think you could access the two separately but they would all be under the content_view command. Just to throw out something to illustrate this point:

katello content_view definitions (list all the content_view_definitions)
katello content_view publish --definition=Database (create a new content view from the content view defininition)
katello content_view define or katello content_view create_definition (create a new content view definition)
katello content_view update_definition --definition=Database --add_filter=stable (or something)
katello content_view promote --view=MongoDB --env=Dev (promote the content view to the Dev environment)
katello content_view list --env=Dev (see the content views in Dev)

So you could access the definitions and views separately but you'd still call the same content_view command.
