# Pulp RPM Roadmap ~~~ This is a living document that is moving towards a long term plan to develop RPM plugin for Pulp 3.0 and beyond. ~~~ ## Supported Content Types ### MVP - RPM \[#3199\] - SRPM \[#3199\] - Erratum \[#3201\] ### Post-MVP - DRPM - Distribution (kickstart tree) - Comps.xml content types (package group, environment, category, langpacks) - Yum repo metadata file - Modules ## Pulp RPM Plugin Use Cases ### MVP ##### Sync - Basic Sync <!-- end list --> - As an authenticated user, I can sync a remote yum/dnf repository <!-- end list --> - RPM \[#3202\] - SRPM \[#3202\] - Erratum \[#3202\] <!-- end list --> - Sync types <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can exactly mirror the content of a remote repository. \[provided by pulpcore\] - As a user, I can mirror the content of a remote repository with an additive behavior, so content is never removed locally. \[provided by pulpcore\] <!-- end list --> - Download Behaviors <!-- end list --> - As a user, my sync task does not fail just because one download failed. \[provided by pulpcore?\] - As a user, I can limit the number of concurrent downloads - As a user, I can sync content on-demand by setting a repository's download policy ##### Publish - As an authenticated user, I can publish a yum/dnf repository. <!-- end list --> - RPM \[#3204\] - SRPM \[#3204\] - Erratum \[#3204\] <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can specify relative path at which a repository will be served. \[provided by pulpcore\] - As a user, I can configure if a repository will be served over an SSL or a non-SSL connection. \[provided by pulpcore\] - As user, I can sync from a yum/dnf repo published by Pulp. \[should be taken into account for any publish story\] ### Post-MVP ##### Sync - Basic Sync <!-- end list --> - As an authenticated user, I can sync a remote yum/dnf repository <!-- end list --> - DRPM - Distribution (kickstart tree) - Comps.xml content types (package group, environment, category, langpacks) - Yum repo metadata file - Modules <!-- end list --> - Sync behaviors <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can mirror only the most recent X versions that correspond to a particular rpm name. - As a user, I can force a full re-sync of a remote repository - As a user, I can sync from a mirrorlist feed. - As a user, I can sync from a metalink URL to avoid a replay attack from a malicious mirror. \[provided by pulpcore [3415](https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3415)\] - As a user, I can sync only signed packages (RPM/DRPM/SRPM) - As a user, I can have sync skip one or more content types, e.g. drpm, errata, etc - As a user, I can sync yum/dnf repository when only primary.xml is provided in repomd.xml <!-- end list --> - Performance features <!-- end list --> - As a user, my sync will skip most of its work if the repomd.xml revision number has not changed is equal to or older (lower) than the previously successfully synced one. <!-- end list --> - As a user, my sync is not skipped if it's a first sync - As a user, my sync is not skipped if the importer configuration has changed since the last sync - As a user, my sync is not skipped if any content has been removed from the repository since the last sync - As a user, downloading of content starts quickly <!-- end list --> - Sync types <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can sync a kickstart tree from the same feed as other rpm/yum/dnf content. <!-- end list --> - Download Behaviors <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can limit the maximum speed of downloading in bytes / sec - As a user, I can limit the number of concurrent downloads - As a user, I can sync content on-demand by setting a repository's download policy. <span style="color:red;">Note: We may move this into the MVP if it is ready in core early enough.</span> - As a user, I can specify the number of retries to be done before failing a given download <!-- end list --> - Checksum Features <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can sync a repository and have the files' checksums validated to ensure that no content is corrupt. <!-- end list --> - GPG Signature Features <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can verify that repo metadata has a valid signature. (would be a new feature) - As a user, I can specify a set of trusted GPG keys. Any packages that are not signed with one of these keys is not synced. <!-- end list --> - Mirror List Support <!-- end list --> - As a plugin writer I can configure mirror lists and rotate between the mirrors <!-- end list --> - round robin support - nearest mirror support (GeoIP or ping times) ##### Publish - As an authenticated user, I can publish a yum/dnf repository. <!-- end list --> - DRPM - Distribution (kickstart tree) - Comps.xml content types (package group, environment, category, langpacks) - Yum repo metadata file - Modules <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can publish a repository incrementally (re-use the pre-existing metadata and only add additional units) - As a user, I can force a full republish of a repository. - As a user, my publish will skip most of its work if no changes to a repository were made since last publish. - As a user, I can configure which checksum algorithm to use when creating metadata. - As a user, I can configure which checksum algorithm to use when creating updateinfo.xml. - Special publish for modules \[TBD\] ##### Export - As a user, I can export a repository or group of repositories to an ISO file (ISO 9660) - As a user, I can export a repository or group of repositories to a DVD / Blueray file (UDF aka. ISO/IEC 13346) - As a user, I can export a repository to a specified directory - As a user, I can export a repositories content that is associated or updated (errata) since a specific datetime( aka incremental?) - As a user, I can export RPM packages and errata as a set of JSON files ##### Upload - As an authenticated user, I can upload yum/dnf content types (not including Distribution) - As an authenticated user, I can upload a comps.xml file and have it parsed into its constituent content units (requires knowledge of the destination repo at creation time) ##### Copy - As a user, I can copy a content of a specific type from one repository to another repository - As a user, I can copy RPM packages and all their dependencies from one repository to another repository - As a user, I can copy an Erratum and all the RPM packages it references from one repository to another repository - As a user, I can copy an Erratum and all the RPM packages it references and all the RPM dependencies from one repository to another repository - Some content types create a new content unit in the destination repo instead of just copying. - Special copy for modules \[TBD\] #### Not much yet discussed use cases ##### Content Protection - As an authenticated user, I can use key based authentication to allow/disallow access to content served by the content app - As an authenticated user, I can use user/password based authentication to allow/disallow access to content served by the content app. ##### Applicability - As an authenticated user, I can trigger an applicability for a consumer. - As an authenticated user, I can trigger an applicability for a repository. ##### Rsync Distributor - As a user i can distribute rpm content using a remote server. ## Pulp 2 features not present in Pulp 3 - "gpgkey" importer setting - only used by pulp-agent. - "generate_sqlite" - sqlite files are only used by yum as an optimization. DNF does not use them and has no plans to. Performance gains marginal. <!-- end list --> - they are also used by the "repoview" feature which we will also leave out of 3.0. Making browseable publications will hopefully be solved in the core. <!-- end list --> - As a user, I can have publish skip one or more content types, e.g. drpm, errata, etc <!-- end list --> - We can't think of a use case for this. Maybe export of only RPMs and Errata, see export use case.
