[Pulp-list] pulp packaging changes

[Jeff Ortel]

We have made a few packaging changes in pulp which have been implemented 
in the v2 testing repository.  First, we are switching to comps groups 
and discontinuing our meta-packages.  Second, our RHEL 5 repositories 
will no longer provide pulp server-side packages.

The comps groups are intended to provided for easy out-of-the-box 
installations.  Each group bundles core platform components with 
commonly used support packages (plugins, extensions and handlers). 
Administrators wanting a more custom installation can continue to 
accomplish this by installing platform packages and the support packages 
of their choice rather then using the comps groups.

The following groups have been defined:

1. pulp-server:
      The pulp server + RPM and puppet plugins.

2. pulp-admin:
      The admin client + builtin, RPM and puppet extensions.

3. pulp-consumer:
      The consumer client + builtin, RPM and puppet extensions.
      The pulp agent + RPM and puppet handlers.

See the comps.xml[1] for more details.

Examples:

# yum groupinstall pulp-server
# yum groupinstall pulp-admin
# yum groupinstall pulp-consumer

The following meta-packages will no longer be provided:

1. pulp-rpm-server
2. pulp-rpm-admin-client
3. pulp-rpm-consumer-client
4. pulp-rpm-agent


I'll be updating the installation wiki today.
