Parking lot

Here is a place to park discussions that would be nice to have later:

  • [discussed #2] Are there plugins, that reuse publication artifacts across publications?
    • Background: For pulp_deb the time to generate package indices (metadata files generated by pulp_deb during publication) is a significant part of the total time for a standard sync + publish workflow.
    • Often the previous repo version has already been published, and only a few new packages have been added since then.
    • The Idea is to re-use the package index publication artifact from the previous version, and just extend it by the newly added packages, rather than regenerating the entire thing from scratch.
      • The idea theoretically will work, but it will have lots of stumbling blocks to overcome along the way.
  • [discussed #4] Strategic Project Discussion
    • What medium-to-large project-wide activities can Pulp undertake to create more value for existing users or add new users?
    • For example:
      • audit the testing we have project-wide and then make it better
      • bring all of the docs sites into one site
    • What's the most strategic goal?
      • Options:
        • Bringing in new users?
        • Helping existing users?
        • Having existing who use certain plugins also use other plugins?
      • What's the best return on our time investment?
      • Some new users don't know about artifact distribution, others already do because they use proprietary competitors
        • Latter would be served by migration instructions
      • [davidd] As an existing user, Pulp has served them well and it's been stable.
        • Issues have been worked around successfully.
        • So focus on acquiring more users.
      • [ipanova]
        • Some new users cannot migrate to Pulp because there's some missing features
        • Some new users may not be aware of our existing features. Blog writing perhaps?
      • it seems that there is an agreement on the need to acquire new users, more promotion of project is needed
        • it does not mean that we will only write docs and blog posts but it is a tech debt we would need to address
        • gap analysis to see what prevents users to move to pulp from other similar projects, incl. a migration
        • implementation of those gaps
      • [lubos] More consistency with feature support rather than new content types. Like all default plugins support domains.
        • [bmbouter] Add a table to the website with the list of plugins and their features?
      • [bmbouter] The main advantage to Pulp (compared to other open source) is that it supports all different content types
      • It's easier to get users who understand the value of an artifact repository than those who do not already
  • [discussed #1] Safely cleaning up content/repo versions (davidd)
    • Problem: we need to clean up old repo versions, their publications, and content
    • But those repo version/publications might be distributed
    • More info: https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/2705#issuecomment-1351364685
      • If you publish a repo version and distribute it, if a user changes it, it can be deleted by retain-repo-versions setting
      • If the publication gets deleted, the distribution will be left pointing to nothing
    • Solution: We'll protect distributed repo versions from automatic deletions when retain-repo-versions is set
  • [discussed #3] Continuation of quba42's "subrepository" discussion
  • [discussed #5] Single docs site discussion from yesterday
  • Can Pulp move away from setup.py to PEP-517 build processes?
  • "dev env" comment from https://hackmd.io/@pulp/pulpcon2023_pain_points
    • potentially resolved by improving docs
    • currently no specifics from davidd
  • Let's talk about Shared Goals as a project
    • docs
    • dev-setup
    • user-experience
    • ???
  • [mikedep333] Parking Lot should be renamed to Rail Yard
