[Pulp-list] Export ISO file retention Limitation..

[Vijayabalan Balakrishnan]

Hi Team,

Today I have created pulp server in DMZ subnet and from our master server
tried to export as an ISO file. So that from disconnected server I can
recreate whenever I need to replicate. However the problem is pulp is
always keep n version. Second time if we execute export command the current
exported ISO file and directory getting deleted before the new ISO file
creation. Is there any way to put retention files (I mean number files) on
my own?

Because in this case in the design document we must include the
instructions/practice that system admins who is taking ISO export they
should first copy the existing file to the common secure share and then
only he should execute the export command.

I thought to understand this n version facility only ?.

My pulp version is

[root at server1]# rpm -q pulp-server
pulp-server-2.5.3-1.el7.noarch

Below I have attached the sample logs....

[root at Server1 ~]# pulp-admin rpm repo export run --repo-id custom_repo1
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
                  Publishing Repository [custom_repo1]

This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.
