How will the feature be enabled? Is it an importer option? What will the option be named?

I assume the feature would be exactly equivalent to the RPM feature. Are there differences I'm unaware of? "What I have locally after the sync is equal to what I have remotely."

Looking at the rpm docs i see "remove_missing" as the equivalent. I am not familiar with the details in this area just the higher level concept need. If there are other options that pair with that one, please note them.

Thanks!

For reference here are the rpm docs: http://docs.pulpproject.org/plugins/pulp_rpm/tech-reference/yum-plugins.html?highlight=remove_missing

OK so to make it exactly like the rpm feature, the feature request is to add a field called remove_missing which will perform the following:

If True, as the repository is synchronized, old <things> will be removed. Valid values to this option are True and False; defaults to False

What are the <things> in ^ that need to be removed? Blobs, tags, layers, all of these? I think if we can clarify that, I would see it clearly enough to groom it.

Yes, I would say all of the artifacts in the repo should match. The result should be zero difference between a new repo created and synced and this repo re-synced.

Rather than "old things", I think it should be "any local content not present in the remote repo".
