Breaking changes coming to the Katello dev environment

All of the related changes have been merged in but the nightly pipeline is not passing which prevents the installer changes from reaching the repos. If interested you can follow the discussion on the nightly build fix here: katello-nightly-rpm-pipeline 499 failed

Few things that can be done to work around this if you’re getting an error in your logs related to the CandlepinEventListener:

Option 1: disable the Katello Event Daemon:

in ~/foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/katello.yaml add a block:

:event_daemon:
  :enabled: false

Option 2: Revert the recent commit in Katello:

cd ~/katello && git revert a69551ea009af21fda7

Option 3: spin up dev environment with staging repos
Use the following ansible variables in your Forklift box definition:

foreman_repositories_environment: staging
