[Pulp-list] Using pulp to create monthly releases

[Mike Griffin]

What I'm struggling with is how I can export new/updated packages of a repo
on my internet-connected pulp server and on the downstream server re-create
the full release-repo, using the combination of existing packages on the
downstream server and the updates from the upstream server. This task would
be easy if I could just export the entire release-repo every month and
import it downstream. It's just that due to the number of distros we
support, that gets to be unwieldy very quickly. Even with just the
new/updated packages every month, it's a full day effort now.
