<p>Hi Ina,</p>
<p>Sorry to bother you but I think I'm going to be needing your help with Pulp v3.</p>
<p>I have tried to install it from the Docs but to be honest some of the documentation isn't very clear<br>
and I'm a bit lost.<br>
<br>
Once the documentation starts getting to Step 4 of : <a class="gmail-m_-6909901545310106990moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/3.0/nightly/installation/instructions.html" target="_blank">
https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/3.0/nightly/installation/instructions.html</a></p>
<p>The wheels came off for me - since I have no prior Pulp experience and don't know Django, etc.<br>
For example, the 'secret_key' part - it's not all all clear what I should be doing with this.<br>
Also in regards to setting up Postgres for Pulp I had the same issues.</p>
<p>If you have any clearer Doco hanging around that would be great since I need to do a large amount of<br>
Linux patching and am very keen to give Pulp a go (it looks like it has a great deal of promise).<br>
</p>
Thanks Ina - really appreciate your help,<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Adrian.<br>

<div>I do think that pulp can cover the needs stated in your email.</div>
<div>If you plan to upload patchsets into pulp yum repos, then from patchfile an srpm/rpm needs to be built first.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Once you publish pulp yum repo, the content can be served and consumed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the client machine you'd need to modify yum config so it would include the URL from which the content is being served.</div>
<div>Then them yum/dnf client should do the job for you.</div>

Hi Ina,<br>
<br>
My name is Adrian Nakon and with a lot of interest I've taking a look at <br>
'pulp'.<br>
<br>
What I'm wanting to do is use 'pulp' to help me create yum repos that <br>
contain Linux patchsets -<br>
the idea being that I can add particular patches to the 'pulp' repos I <br>
create and then use those repos<br>
to drive patching work.<br>
<br>
I've been looking at the 'pulp' doco online but there are still many <br>
questions for me that are left unanswered.<br>
As a newbie to 'pulp', I'd be very grateful if you could please point me <br>
to doco for 'pulp' newbies.<br>
<br>
For example, one thing that intrigues me is how would I use yum on a <br>
client machine to use a 'pulp' repo as<br>
a base for it's RPMs that need to be applied? Or have I misunderstood <br>
and 'pulp' doesn't work that way?<br>
<br>
Anyway, many thanks Ina for your time - really appreciate it. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Adrian.<br>
