Neal, I completely agree with the points you brought up and would love to see Pulp 3 shipped in Fedora. The only thing I am hesitant about is the timing. Fedora 30 is shipping in May, correct? We’re approaching an RC for Pulp’s core but none of the plugins are really ready. I think releasing Pulp for Fedora 31 in the fall might be more feasible but maybe we can re-evaluate in March.
Also, I’d love to talk more about integrating Pulp into's Fedora infrastructure. I joined the Pulp team a couple years ago and have been constantly wondering why Fedora is not using Pulp to manage and distribute its RPMs. Maybe at some point we can give you a demo of Pulp 3 and figure out how we can help fill Fedora’s needs. Thanks for reaching out. David On Mon, Feb 11, 2019 at 2:39 PM Neal Gompa <ngomp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I wanted to ask about having Pulp 3 land in Fedora.
