Proposal: The pulp/devel repository will install a CentOS 7 base box instead of a Fedora 28 one
Rationale: * CentOS / RHEL is what our users are using. Using a different platform can result in different behavior in the development environment vs what users see -- this happened to me recently and wasted a couple of hours on both the Dev and QE sides * Fedora 28 is EOL and no longer receiving updates * Pulp 2 the custom dev installation script (pulp-dev.py) is broken on Fedora 29+ and I deemed it probably not worth the time or effort to fix * The RPM plugin is also broken on Fedora 29+ -- legacy "createrepo" was obsoleted entirely and as far as I can tell you can't import some of the libraries we are using from that package anymore * There's little point in tracking fast-moving Fedora changes at this point in Pulp 2's lifecycle anyways I have a branch that already works on CentOS. It's a few patches behind but would take about 5 minutes to get cleaned up. Any objections?
