Hi Alan, > immediate - download files on sync > on_demand - download when a client requests a file the first time > background - doesn't immediate technically happen "in the background"
I believe you are correct in your assessment here. In my opinion the trade offs would be: immediate - requires more disk space for packages that you may never install/update on_demand - potential delay the first time a package is requested, problems if the upstream happens to be down/corrupted when you need the package background - same issue as immediate plus a bit more work to have confidence in the current state of your product repos I use on_demand for my products (a full suite of CentOS 6/7, OEL 6/7, EPEL 6/7, etc) and have been happy with it. I like to keep my Katello server as small as I can because it is a VM, the current backup strategies aren't ideal, so snapshots are used a lot.
