Hi all,

I was working with CloudForms 1.0/Conductor yesterday and ran into an issue 
that had me banging my head against the desk for a while.  I had an 
ImageFactory /etc/imagefactory/target_content.xml file configured to point to 
several repos in Katello.  In Conductor, I provided an image XML file that 
pointed to some other (different) repos.  When I went to build my image, I kept 
getting an older version of an RPM installed, and I was *certain* that I had a 
newer version available.  It turns out that the RPM was available in both a 
repo from target_content.xml and from a repo in my image XML.  I'm guessing the 
repos didn't have any priorities set, and yum just picked the first repo in the 
list that contained my RPM.  Unfortunately for me, it was the older version.  
Once I promoted the newer version to the repo specified by target_content.xml, 
all was good.

So here's my RFE: I think it would be great if there was some way to preview 
what will happen when you click "build image."  At a minimum, I would like to 
see a list of all the repos (in order) and a list of all packages (and if 
possible, their versions) that will be installed.

Thanks for listening :-)
Andy
