Why there absent instead of present?

[PiRomant]

I have overridden foreman_scap_client_repo_state to present via Foreman and it helped. It's strange that this is not the default.

The only thing I can think of is that the role by default assumes that you are using it from foreman with katello, where the role makes assumption that you make all the necessary content available to the client through katello and therefore you wouldn't want the role to set up third party repositories and start pulling content from the internet.

How about using the repository in case it is not found in other repositories. Or at least a nice error message.

That might still be unacceptable in the "katello is the canonical source of content" scenario.

Or at least a nice error message.

That might be easier said than done, but patches welcome.
