  Thanks very much DKliban. I'm back in business. For what it's worth for the rest of Pulp 2.x's lifespan, trapping exceptions as done in the patch with some logging goodness to stdout at bail-time would be very much welcome to all those w... Issue #4617: Migration of modular content can fail (upgrade from <=2.16 to 2.17+)

  Hello folks,
  Our upgrade of a (albeit smaller but otherwise identical) beta Pulp server went just fine, so this morning I upgraded production which went fine until the database migration.
  The migration failed very early at 'Applyin...

  Story #3055: As a user, I can publish a Yum repository that works with repo_gpgcheck=1

  Another use-case we have found is needing just a couple packages from RPMfusion (eg fuse-exfat). Definitely still need this feature!
  Story #2846: As a user, I can filter content during sync

  ### Motivation
  Pulp 's rpm repo system always syncs the entire repository, but does not include any facilities to include only, or exclude packages by some form of patterns, or list of patterns.

  \+1 with the caveat that we would really appreciate having a blacklist option. In one real-world example I'm coping with right now, firefox.x86_64 is the in the main "OS" repo for RHEL, but firefox.i686 is in the "Optional" repo. If Opti... Story #206: As a user, I can specify a whitelist of packages for sync

  There is no way currently to apply a whitelist to a yum repository feed. There are often cases where repositories contain large sets of packages that are never used when only a small, specific set are actually desired. The user should ha...

  This might be overkill, but I'm wondering if some kind of "pre-flight check" that thumbs through the DB might be in order as a safety feature, where various object aspects that would bring a migration unit down can be found and alerted u...

  I would still welcome this enhancement. I am running 2.10 currently and noticed that things like the modify date of files in the index no longer show ... Story #1628: make repo index listings more readable in a web browser (easy fix)

  

  Folks,
  By default (thanks Apache...), package listings in repos are really not that useful via a web browser because the default is to truncate filenames after the first 20 bytes.

  Story #2595 (CLOSED - DUPLICATE): Being able to set a retry for failed tasks would make pulp more robust and turnkey

  As my pulp installation has expanded out to 140+ repos, failed repo syncs have become a daily occurrence. I currently deal with this manually after being notified by external tools (Splunk alerts) - if I could set a global default and/or...
