RPM Support

Imagine you have pulp2 and some data( in this case i had only ISO content), then pulp3 gets installed. Write permission for the pulp group is granted and setgid is set [0] Issue comes when new content gets synced into pulp2( in this case I synced an rpm repo) .Pulp2 overrides permissions, this makes is impossible to create a hardlink

$  ll /var/lib/pulp/content/units/
total 12
drwxrwsr-x. 173 apache pulp 4096 Sep  2 08:34 iso    <------------------    existing content by the time pulp3 installed
drwxr-sr-x.  12 apache pulp  106 Sep  2 08:35 modulemd  <----------------------   new content after pulp3 installed
drwxr-sr-x.   5 apache pulp   36 Sep  2 08:35 modulemd_defaults
drwxr-sr-x.  35 apache pulp 4096 Sep  2 08:35 rpm

Then i synced a new ISO repo.


$ ll /var//lib//pulp/content/units/iso/12

drwxr-sr-x. 2 apache pulp 19 Sep  2 08:33 3f7c65dc3598a59bbb867425c4e52cc54ecb66ff0f6db4656d349799b96594
(pulp) [vagrant@pulp2-nightly-pulp3-source-centos7 ~]$ ll /var//lib//pulp/content/units/iso/12/3f7c65dc3598a59bbb867425c4e52cc54ecb66ff0f6db4656d349799b96594/

All the content that appears after pulp3 is installed, does not have write permission for the pulp group. This makes it impossible to create hard link during the migration https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7244
