Ok, it's early yet.. :)
The good thing is that the content backend, Pulp, is smart enough to
know if you are syncing the same RPM twice it will only store it *once*
on disk and manages the repo associations with symlinks on the filesystem.
Oh, good. Glad to hear that.
Are you mostly concerned with disk space or is it more of a
usability
thing?
Both, actually. From the disk side, storing the same thing twice seems
to be a waste. Though I do understand that having a shared repo like
that means that changes by one org can affect the other. Security
concerns, etc. For those situations, maybe a "read only" repo would be
useful. Something an admin can set up but none of the orgs can change.
Or maybe have an org listed as the admin for a repo.
As for the usability side, it's more of a convenience than anything I
guess. Having to re-create it in another org is just more work. Since
I only have a few repos (so far) that need to be shared, it's not a big
deal. But if there were a lot...
Of course, that said, I'm not sure how many users of Katello have more
than a single org configured. So maybe this is just something I'll have
to deal with as a minority user.
