Description

The pulp installer should never blindly install new repositories, such as installing the epel-release RPM.

Instead, required repositories should be documented as prerequisites.

Background:

The current implementation is based on the false assumption that all EPEL installations come from the Internet-hosted repos.

It breaks in sites that use a private mirror of the EPEL repository.

The pulp installer bypasses our mirror, and installs a second copy of the EPEL repo in addition to our mirrored one.

The same also applies to the pulpcore repository.

Please disregard. I have since discovered the epel_release_packages variable that does exactly what I need.

Awesome, I'm glad that you were able to make it work using our variables.
