[Bihan Zhang]

Pulp 2.12.1 Beta 1 is now Available in the beta repositories:

  https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/beta/2.12/

This release includes a small number bug fixes for the Pulp Platform, and
the RPM Plugin.

The current status of this release can be tracked in the Redmine Wiki:

Upgrading
=========

The Pulp 2.12 beta repository is included in the pulp repo files:
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-pulp.repo for fedora
23 & 24
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/rhel-pulp.repo for RHEL 6 & 7

After enabling the pulp-2.12-beta repository, you'll want to follow the
standard
upgrade path with migrations:

$ sudo systemctl stop httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager
pulp_celerybeat pulp_streamer goferd
$ sudo yum upgrade
$ sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db
$ sudo systemctl start httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager
pulp_celerybeat pulp_streamer goferd

The pulp_streamer and goferd services should be omitted if those services
are not installed.

Potential GA Blocker
===============

A user filed https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2591 after 2.12.1 beta build was
underway. It was determined that the blocker status for this build would be
removed so 2.12.1 beta can be built. The Pulp team will work on this and
determine if it is a 2.12.1 GA blocker.


el6 Support Reminder
====================

As mentioned in the release notes, Pulp no longer supports el6 starting
with 2.12.

Pulp users running on RHEL or CentOS 6 are recommended to upgrade their
Pulp server to
the current major version of that OS, RHEL or CentOS 7.
