Fred, Pulp does not make guarantees about preserving mtime on files or ensuring that mtime sorts in lock-step with epoch-version-release. That is not a use case pulp tries to support, but it would be interesting to know why that's useful to you.
Publishing a yum repo makes it available to the yum client, or any other compatible client (like dnf), over http. Most users don't access the files directly on disk from a shell session. Once you upload an rpm, make sure you re-publish the repo. Then that rpm will be listed in the corresponding ...-primary.xml.gz file.

Each RPM is named with the pattern <rpm name>-<version>-<build>.noarch.rpm Which means we produce for instance: myrpm-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm myrpm-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm myrpm-0.0.1-3.noarch.rpm myrpm-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm in our repo The problem is that the “pulp-admin rpm repo publish run” command does not respect the build number ordering.

Furthermore, I’ve been digging into the following files /repodata/*-filelists.xml.gz /repodata/*-other.xml.gz /repodata/*-primary.xml.gz /repodata/*-updateinfo.xml.gz and I cannot find the latest uploaded RPM in these files. Can you explain either: - How the publish command could meet my requirement? - How the repodata files are generated ?
