A couple of questions:</div><div><br></div><div>Could you help with explaining about more in terms of what you are looking for regarding pruning? Export is challenging for this since what is exported is a yum repository, it does not include information about packages that have been removed. </div><div>Are you considering running a Pulp server on your disconnected network to make the data available there? </div><div>Exporting a repository by default creates the mirror of what you would get by accessing it from the pulp server directly. The start-date and end-date parameters are specifically designed for incremental exports. Can you give a specific example of what is missing from the generated iso when you use those parameters?</div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One last question, what version of Pulp are you using? Thanks!</span></div><div><br></div><div>-Barnaby</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Mike Griffin" <mgriffin@griftech.net><br><b>To: </b>pulp-list@redhat.com<br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, May 14, 2015 6:23:45 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Pulp-list] Using pulp to create monthly releases<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>I'm looking for a way to efficiently use pulp to create monthly releases for repos on my disconnected network.<br><div><br></div></div>My initial thought is to have my internet-connected pulp server nightly sync the repos into some -stage repo, then once a month "cut" the release, by copying the -stage repo into a -release repo. What I'm stuck on is how I could determine what changes were made from month to month and move just the changes, along with the updates to the repodata (comps.xml, etc). I want to prune the old packages out as well as add the new ones. I know that the export has --start-date and --end-date parameters, but that does not export the updated repodata, nor does it give me the removed packages. Also, the export doesn't allow me to re-create the release repo in its entirety on the other side.<br><div><br></div></div>Has anyone else thought about how to create monthly releases?<br><div><br></div>Thanks<br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Regards,<br>Mike Griffin<br><div><br></div></div><div>Ever grateful, ever true<br></div></div></div> </div> <br>_______________________________________________<br>Pulp-list mailing list<br>Pulp-list@redhat.com<br>https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-list</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
