Pulp

Pulpcore
- All pulpcore changes from last two weeks
- All Pulp organization changes in the last two weeks
- Let’s talk about PRNs and HREFs
  - You must have an HREF to get/update/delete an instance
  - You can use PRNs as attributes on calls
  - E.g.: I need a remote’s HREF to GET/UPDATE that remote - but I can use its PRN on a repository-sync call to sync from that remote
  - We absolutely do need to fix whatever is going on with the Ruby bindings and HrefOrPrn fields
  - See https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/7002 for discussion
RPM
- Fix for the retain_package_versions feature was merged (No downstream bug reports (yet))
  - Discussion about the sql implementation
  - Not fixed, even after a number of iterations
  - https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/pull/4171 - anybody care to help out here?
  - Fixing it in python : https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/pull/4136

How to “Add questions to Ian’s Pulpcon proposals”? Simply reply in the main PulpCon thread? It feels like that might get messy.

Hoping to have a quick discussion surrounding edge cases of new container push workflow
- Preliminary testing went great - it looks like we’ll only have a few arch changes on the Katello side.
- For in-place migrations, totally possible but PRN will change. Will not need to run content itself through Katello.
- Container will continue to support old-style and new-style in parallel until “some future release”, where old-style repos will be forced to new-style as a migration
  - Current behavior is “new style is default”, and one can request old-style repos be migrated, as a task, in a running system with the new pulp-container release
