Pulp

The artifacts property on RepositoryVersion assumes that artifacts are all directly attached to RepositoryVersion Content:

RepositoryVersion
   |
Content
   |
Artifacts

But with DistributionTrees, this is not the case. There are also artifacts nested in repos:

RepositoryVersion
   |
DistributionTree
   |
Repository/RepositoryVersion
   |
Content
   |
Artifacts

This means that not all artifacts will get exported when the DistributionTree is exported.

Solution¶

Have the artifacts property method call a Repository method to determine what artifacts it has. This is needed since RepositoryVersion is not typed. Then pulp_rpm (and other plugins) can override this method to add in artifacts from DistributionTrees.

Possible Alternative(s)¶

Add a hook to the artifact export code that will allow plugins to define what artifacts belong to a repo version.
