I'm generally not a fan of SQL in a tool. Could the same information be retrieved from Candlepin using the official API? If so, could Katello do so and implement it as a rake command?

I'm mostly worried about Candlepin version updates which changes the DB somehow and verifying this part can easily be forgotten.

We don't have a good group to ping, but @ianballou may know or may know who can make it happen.

I agree with @ekohl that this is a little strange to have in foreman-maintain. It would be really perfect to have it exist as a rake script in Katello.

However, this script does look like it would be incredibly helpful to have around for when users have issues with repositories not appearing in their redhat.repo file.

It looks like you can get product content from products at least via the Candlepin API:

{
  "created": "2020-04-23 03:23:50.927000",
  "updated": "2020-04-23 03:23:50.927000",
  "id": "5051",
  "uuid": "ff808081554a3e4101554a3e9033005d",
  "name": "Admin OS Developer Bits",
  "multiplier": 1,
  "attributes": [
    {
      "name": "string",
      "value": "string"
    }
  ],
  "productContent": [
    {
      "content": {
        "created": "2020-04-23 03:23:50.927000",
        "updated": "2020-04-23 03:23:50.927000",
        "uuid": "ff808081554a3e4101554a3e9033005d",
        "id": "5001",
        "type": "yum",
        "label": "content_label",
        "name": "content_name",
        "vendor": "example-vendor",
        "contentUrl": "/admin/foo/example/path",
        "requiredTags": "TAG1,TAG2",
        "releaseVer": "1.2.3",
        "gpgUrl": "/admin/foo/example/gpg/path",
        "modifiedProductIds": [
          5051,
          5052,
          5053
        ],
        "arches": "x86_64",
        "metadataExpire": 1467124079
      },
      "enabled": true
    }
  ],
...

If rewriting with the Candlepin API ends up being too much to prioritize, I'd be for keeping it as-is

@ianballou @ekohl , I created a rake-task, which does similar things: Katello/katello#10740

At the moment I do not have a system that really has the issue this is intended to fix.
