Hello Christina! Yes, the working directories are used during sync and publish operations, and are not part of Pulp's other operations. Files getting left there when no sync or publish is happening is probably a bug. FWIW, our esteemed colleague Dennis Kliban has reworked the way our tasks use working space with newer versions of Pulp (was it 2.6 or maybe 2.7 where that was introduced?) so that we do a much better job of tracking temporary files and cleaning up after ourselves. Just so you know, Pulp 2.4 should have been called Pulp 3.0 because it makes several backwards incompatible changes. When you do upgrade eventually, make sure you pay attention to the release notes for every version but give special attention to the 2.4 release notes. There are quite a few improvements in 2.7 so I'd say it's worth doing when you get the chance. -- Randy Barlow irc: bowlofeggs
