Hi,
Having an internet connected pulp server could definitely help with creating releases like this. A couple of questions:
Could you help with explaining about more in terms of what you are looking for regarding pruning? Export is challenging for this since what is exported is a yum repository, it does not include information about packages that have been removed.
Are you considering running a Pulp server on your disconnected network to make the data available there?
Exporting a repository by default creates the mirror of what you would get by accessing it from the pulp server directly. The start-date and end-date parameters are specifically designed for incremental exports. Can you give a specific example of what is missing from the generated iso when you use those parameters?
One last question, what version of Pulp are you using? Thanks!

Subject: [Pulp-list] Using pulp to create monthly releases
I'm looking for a way to efficiently use pulp to create monthly releases for repos on my disconnected network.
My initial thought is to have my internet-connected pulp server nightly sync the repos into some -stage repo, then once a month "cut" the release, by copying the -stage repo into a -release repo. What I'm stuck on is how I could determine what changes were made from month to month and move just the changes, along with the updates to the repodata (comps.xml, etc). I want to prune the old packages out as well as add the new ones. I know that the export has --start-date and --end-date parameters, but that does not export the updated repodata, nor does it give me the removed packages. Also, the export doesn't allow me to re-create the release repo in its entirety on the other side.
Has anyone else thought about how to create monthly releases?
Thanks
