Pulp

Background¶

Users should not change the ALLOWED_CONTENT_CHECKSUMS if they already have content in their DB.

Idea¶

Let's add a check at Pulp start time that causes them to not do that

Implementation¶

As suggested by @daviddavis, at the bottom of the pulpcore.app.settings, add another check that performs a select like SELECT * FROM artifacts WHERE a IS NULL or b IS NULL ... and if this returns any artifacts, raise an ImproperlyConfigured error.

Testing¶

Since we can't change settings during functional test runs, we cannot reasonably test for this.
