Yeah it does not make sense to package development setup as a tarball
while there is still big portion of the system that is needed. But I can
imagine one can run katello locally while having backend engines on
other machine, but for development perhaps.

Source tarballs will be released as parts of SRPMs, some teams release
them also in plain format, but I don't think this is necessary in our
case. Developers are using git and users do not want to run production
systems from Gemfile. There's this need of runninig all the backend
engines, it does not make sense to me.

Let me ask the team - what was to original reason for creating our own
gemrepo? I guess we were missing some gems on rubygems.org right?

Once we change to koji, do we still need to maintain this repo? Can't we
just switch back to rubygems.org so pure ruby developers can still use
it?
