Pulp Debian Docs

Try out the new features, and let us know how they work for you!

New Plugin: Pulp Debian

With this release we have included an updated Pulp Debian plugin courtesy of our community contibutor Mihai Ibanescu!

This plugin should enable you to work with debian repositories

Fedora 26 Support: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2961

We hoped to bring Fedora 26 support in with this release, but there are still some issues with pulp on Fedora 26.

We are looking at resolving these, and will hopefully be able to provide Fedora 26 builds either shortly after this release, or with the 2.14.1 release.

Upgrading

The Pulp 2 stable repository is included in the pulp repo files:

After enabling the pulp-stable or pulp-2-stable 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.
