Description

Description

Problem

If plugin writers want to customize distributions (or use different content apps), they have to "invent" new REST endpoints (e.g. pulp_docker has a "docker-distributions" endpoint).

This leads to inconsistent API with unexpected location of distribution endpoints.

Solution

Switching to Master/Detail allows plugins to define customized Distribution at 'well-known' endpoints (e.g. .../distributions/docker/docker/)

The Models offered by core will be: (see also #4715)

- BaseDistribution: a (non-abstract) MasterModel containing name, base_path, content_guard, and remote. This class can be used in plugins that don't use publications

- Distribution: a subclass of BaseDistribution containing publication, publisher, repository. This class is the "standard" Distributor that will be subclassed by plugins using the standard content app

We will have the Master/Detail Distribution viewset overridden by the plugin. For convenience, plugin writers should not be forced to redefine the create/update/remove async tasks, i.e. they should create the respective detail model instance.

pulpcore db migrations will have to be re-generated for this change; users will have to redo their data bases. (this is necessary for rc2 anyway (because of #4678))

Optional: If possible, the current .../distributions/ endpoint should still work. It will be deprecated in rc2 and removed in rc3.

Switch Distribution to Master/Detail

The models offered by pulpcore are:

  • BaseDistribution: a (non-abstract) MasterModel. This class can be used in plugins that don't use publications.

  • Distribution: a subclass of BaseDistribution. This class is the "standard" Distributor that will be subclassed by plugins using the standard content app.

Bringing back to POST so I can split Distribution into two class types.

Split Distribution into two objects

The Distribution contained options which should not be mixed. Specifically the repository and repository_version options go together and the publication goes by itself.

This PR splits that object into two new objects RepositoryVersionDistribution and PublicationDistribution. The two models are not detail objects, and require the plugin writer to declare a Distribution detail object. It was already this way before this PR.

This also adds a release note about the breaking changes that come with the switch to Master/Detail.

Use PublicationDistribution from pulpcore.plugin

The plugin API now uses PublicationDistribution which causes pulp_file users to only receive the fields they can actually use.
