The use cases we outlined earlier provide very little value over using httpie to interact with the REST API directly. I'd like to propose 5 new use cases:
- As a CLI user, I can create a repository, a remote, a publisher, and a distribution with a single command. - As a CLI user, I can create a repository version, a publication, and update the distribution with a single command. - As a CLI user, I can list remote types available on the Pulp server. - As a CLI user, I can list publisher types available on the Pulp server. - As a CLI user, I can list all repositories available on the Pulp server. The use cases proposed at the beginning on this thread require the user to perform 4 steps before any content can be synced: 1) Create repository 2) Create remote 3) Create publisher 4) Create distribution The goal for the CLI should be to reduce this to a single step. The CLI will need to make some assumptions for the user: publisher name, distribution name, auto publish, auto distribute, and maybe others. However, this will allow the user to use a single command to create a repository that's ready for sync/publish. Sync/Publish/Distribute workflow can also be 3 steps: 1) Create a new repository version 2) Create a new publication 3) Update distribution The goal here is to also reduce this to a single step. The other use cases are auxiliary. Questions? Thoughts? Ideas? -Dennis On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 11:58 AM, Dana Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 > > Dana Walker > > Associate Software Engineer > > Red Hat > > <https://www.redhat.com> > <https://red.ht/sig> > > On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 10:31 AM, Jeremy Audet <[email protected]> wrote: > >> A configuration file in the user's home dir, right? >>>> >>> >>> Yes, exactly. >>> >> >> Can we make sure to avoid placing configuration files directly in users >> home directories, and instead place them into directories like ~/.config? >> This is in line with the XDG Base Directory Specification >> <https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>. >> The spec is pretty straightforward, but Pulp Smash uses pyxdg >> <https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pyxdg/> to avoid mistakes. >> There's two big benefits to doing this: >> >> - Less clutter in home directories. >> - Guidance on what to do with other types of files, such as cached >> files and runtime files. >> >> Projects such as git, htop, lftp, mpd, neovim, tmuxinator, boybo, and >> more do this. >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Pulp-dev mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-dev >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > Pulp-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-dev > >
