   - http:// 
   - https:// 
   - file:// 

 As a plugin writer, I can configure a downloader with:

 As a plugin writer, the plugin can participate in adding content for cases where the decision to add additional content is based content that has been downloaded. 

 As a plugin writer, I can fetch content myself (but I am not encouraged to do so) with code I write 

 As a plugin writer, I can CRUD content units 

 ## <span style="color:red;">Consumer Profile Applicability</span> 

 <span style="color:red;">Using Consumer Profiles and repository bindings I can compute applicability with 2.y parity</span> 

   - Performance needs to be awesome% 

 ## Migrations only involving Pulp 3 

 Users can run "pulp-manager migrate" to migrate the database and adjust state in other locations (filesystem, message broker, ...). \[done\]

 ## Glossary 

 Repository - A named collection of content. 

 Artifact - A file associated with one content (unit). Artifacts are not shared between content (units). Create a content unit using an uploaded file ID as the source for its metadata. Create Artifacts associated with the content unit using an uploaded file ID for each; commit as a single transaction. 

 Content (unit) - A single piece of content manged by Pulp. Each file associated with a content (unit) is called an Artifact. Each content (unit) may have zero or many Artifacts. 

 Orphan Content (unit): A content unit that is a member of 0 repositories 

 Orphan Artifact: An Artifact that is associated with 0 Content Units and 0 Publications 

 Add (Content Unit): An operation causing a repository to contain a content unit(s) 

 Remove (content unit): An operation causing a repository to not contain a content unit(s) 

 Consumer Profile - A set of installed units on a specific machine. In Pulp3 this machine is not a "consumer" in the same sense as Pulp2. Pulp is not "managing" the machine anymore; Pulp3 only collects Profile information. 

 Applicability - A plugin defined term meaning when a package update available in a repository is applicable to a given consumer as determined by the Consumer Profile. 

 Distribution: Where and how the content app serves a Publication. i.e. http vs https and base path component of the URL. A Distribution defines: 

   - the base bath of the repository publication (required) 
   - serving via http (default=False) 
   - serving via https (default=True) 
   - relationship w/ a Publisher for auto-distribution (should be allowed to be NULL) 
   - relationship with Publication (should be allowed to be NULL)
