[Pulp-dev] [pulp-dev] modularity upload

[Ina Panova]

When we sync, do we assign artifact to modulemd-defaults? If yes then your
idea with regards to creation of modulemd-defaults by providing arguments
will bring in inconsistency.

I would pivot for a custom endpoint for modules upload that would accept a
file that would be parsed and based what's found there modulemd and/or
modulemd-defaults contents will be created respectively.
