Tomas, 

Are you trying to avoid using Content Views? That is how I deal with this 
situation. My products are divvied up by vendor but my Content Views are EL 
version-specific. 

Regards,

Subject: [foreman-users] Recommendations for products with discovered 
repositories and subscriptions for content hosts 

Greetings, 
I have a Satellite 6.2.7 installation and I am adding third party repositories 
using the Discover Repositories function within a product. For example, I add 
the EPEL repositories with the url https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel. The 
repos get discovered for EL 5,6,7 and various architectures (x86_64, i386, 
etc.). I select those that I am interested in and this all works fine. However, 
when I register a content host (subscription-manager register --org 
"Organization" I noticed that the host sees all of the available repositories 
from that product and not just those specific to it's RHEL version or 
architecture. So my RHEL 6 x86_64 system now has access RHEL 5 and RHEL 7 
packages. 
Does any one have a recommendation or best practice for how to deal with 
external repositories like this. It seems that the Red Hat repositories with 
their related products seem to do this such that the system registered only 
sees repositories for its relevant RHEL version and arch. I know that there are 
a number of ways to do this manually with activation keys or specifying within 
each host entry in Satellite what repositories within a product are on by 
default but is there a better or simpler way. I considered creating products 
specific to arch and version but that seems just as difficult to manage. If all 
all possible I'd prefer that the content host only be able to subscribe to 
repositories that are relevant to arch and version. 
I hope that my question makes sense, if not I can try to clarify. Any advice on 
this would be much appreciated. 
thanks
