<p>Speaking for our Katello users, I don't know that its required
for us to do, but might be nice to have. I think we might want to
have the option to preserve or not, as alphabetically organized
repositories are nice to have even when the upstream repository
isn't laid out in such a way.<br>
</p>
<p>I do seem to remember in the past some desire around kickstarts
to preserve the structure, but i do not remember the details
around it. <br>

<div>RPM plugin team discussed this question recently
and we are leaning towards a conclusion that by
default Pulp is expected to publish a repo with a
directory structure of a remote repository. <br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">E.g. At the moment if no base_path is
configured for a distribution, those two repositories
[0][1] (same content, different layout) result in a
repo with the same flat structure, all packages go
into the root directory. Is there an expectation that
Pulp would generate two repositories with the
directory structure as in the original remote repo?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. RPM plugin users, please, speak out, do you
need/expect/want a directory structure to be the
same as in a remote repo you sync from?</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>2. It would be good to know if there is such a
need for any other plugin than RPM. It will help to
answer the questions: Should we handle this in
pulpcore? or in every plugin since plugins might
have different needs for a default layout?</div>
