Would this be the treeinfo file and everything it references?
Assuming that's true, you could make this work now with a local sync, either from a local filesystem, or a locally-accessible http server. I don't think you'd even need the repodata dir or any XML metadata. Just the treeinfo file and the stuff it references.
As you know, our current upload implementation is not very performant for lots of files, so we would probably need a lot of improvement there to make this practical.
Or do you think it would be reasonable to tar it all up and just upload the tarball? Would that get excessively large?

When Pulp syncs a kickstart repo from cdn.redhat.com, the repodata and all of the RPMs as well, correct? I am pretty sure we would need everything.

A tarball could work. It would be roughly the same size as an installation DVD, and we upload those to Pulp regularly.

Hi Michael. Based on the conversation we had today, here is a suggestion for how this could be implemented. The distribution is uploaded as a single tarball. Pulp untars the file into the working directory. It then does a sync against this local location to pull the content into pulp. Finally it removes the temp repo and "disconnects" the sync source.
