RPM Support

Let the file rsync_distributor_config.json have contents similar to the snippet below.

{
    "distributor_id": "rpm_rsync_distributor",
    "distributor_type_id": "rpm_rsync_distributor",
    "distributor_config": {
        "remote": {
            "auth_type": "publickey",
            "ssh_user": "57840d112d527166ac000259",
            "ssh_identity_file": "/home/vagrant/openshift",
            "host": "rsync-bmbouter.rhcloud.com",
            "root": "/var/lib/openshift/57840d112d527166ac000259/app-root/repo/diy"
        },
        "predistributor_id": "yum_distributor"
    }
}

Let the publish_rsync.json file have these contents:

{
  "id": "rpm_rsync_distributor",
  "override_config": {"skip_fast_forward": true}
}

Now consider this reproducer:

pulp-admin rpm repo delete --repo-id zoo
pulp-admin orphan remove --all
pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id zoo --feed https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fixtures/rpm/
http --verify no --auth admin:admin POST https://localhost/pulp/api/v2/repositories/zoo/distributors/ < rsync_distributor_config.json
# pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id zoo
http --verify no --auth admin:admin POST https://localhost/pulp/api/v2/repositories/zoo/actions/publish/ < publish_rsync.json

Observe that the original yum_distributor publish is commented out so it isn't actually run. When running this reproducer you will receive a traceback like this one:
