Description

Ticket moved to GitHub: "pulp/pulp_rpm/2293":https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/issues/2293


Currently, if mirror=True, the skip_types option is ignored, which was surprising to some users.

https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/blob/052f170fe60f27a32ccbd2d9a42283d7850b80a4/pulp_rpm/app/tasks/synchronizing.py#L1027

Two solutions were proposed:

  1. Disallow specifying both options simultaneously (and katello would hide the option from the UI)
  2. Let everything be synced as specified by "mirror", but in the event the sync is an "immediate" mode sync, use deferred_download only for the types which the user requested be skipped, so that the user doesn't pay a disk space cost for them.
