[Pulp-dev] [pulp 3] proposed change to publishing REST api

[Jeff Ortel]

This is interesting.

Some thoughts:

If adopted, I propose the publication task create the publication and pass to the publisher which would
require a change in the plugin API - Publisher.publish(publication).  If the publisher fails, I think the
publication should be deleted.

Associated how?  I hope you are not suggesting adding Publication.task_id (FK).  I don't think that would be a
good idea.

I still like the idea of adding Publication.name as a natural key that can be specified by the user.  It can
default to the task ID when not specified.  This gives users something meaningful to use when selecting a
publication for association to a Distribution or when deleting.
