====================== Pulp 2.2 Release Notes ====================== Pulp 2.2.0 ========== New Features ------------ * The yum importer is all-new. It performs sync operations in less time, and it uses much less RAM than in the past. * The ISO Distributor now supports repository protection. See the API documentation for more details. * The ISO Importer now allows ISO uploads. * The ISO Importer now allows synchronization cancellation. CLI Changes ----------- * The ``pulp-admin rpm repo uploads rpm`` command now supports a flag (``--skip-existing``) to skip re-uploading packages that are already in the destination repository. * The ``pulp-admin rpm repo copy`` command now has a ``--all`` flag. * Many commands that used to display a task ID will now automatically poll the server and display progress until the task is complete. * There is a new ISO section in the pulp-admin client. It currently allows syncing, creating, and updating repositories. API Changes ----------- Yum Importer ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some of the configuration names for the yum importer have changed. See the table below for the mapping of old names to new names. +----------------------+------------------+ | Old name | New Name | +======================+==================+ | feed_url | feed | +----------------------+------------------+ | ssl_verify | ssl_validation | +----------------------+------------------+ | num_threads | max_downloads | +----------------------+------------------+ | proxy_url | proxy_host | +----------------------+------------------+ | proxy_user | proxy_username | +----------------------+------------------+ | proxy_pass | proxy_password | +----------------------+------------------+ | verify_checksum | validate | +----------------------+------------------+ | remove_old | remove_missing | +----------------------+------------------+ | num_old_packages | retain_old_count | +----------------------+------------------+ The following configuration values are no longer supported. ``newest`` The idea of only downloading the newest RPM is handled by the ``retain_old_count`` value. ``verify_size`` Verifying the size and checksum have been consolidated into a single parameter called ``validate``. During migration, the value for ``validate`` will be set on existing repositories using the ``verify_checksum`` value. All existing yum importers will be migrated by pulp-manage-db, but any non-Pulp code that creates or updates yum importers with the API will need to be updated to use these new names. ISO Importer ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some of the configuration names for the ISO importer have changed. See the table below for the mapping of old names to new names. +----------------------+----------------+ | Old name | New Name | +======================+================+ | feed_url | feed | +----------------------+----------------+ | num_threads | max_downloads | +----------------------+----------------+ | proxy_url | proxy_host | +----------------------+----------------+ | proxy_user | proxy_username | +----------------------+----------------+ | remove_missing_units | remove_missing | +----------------------+----------------+ | validate_units | validate | +----------------------+----------------+ All existing ISO importers will be migrated by pulp-manage-db, but any non-Pulp code that creates or updates ISO importers with the API will need to be updated to use these new names. Upgrade Instructions -------------------- Please see the `Pulp Platform upgrade instructions `_ for information on how to complete the upgrade. The location of the global configuration file for the yum importer has changed. Any custom changes to the pre-2.2.0 file (``/usr/lib/pulp/plugins/importers/yum_importer/yum_importer.conf``), such as those suggested when :ref:`configuring a proxy `, are removed during upgrade. The new location of this file is ``/etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json``. Keep in mind the configuration property name changes above when re-adding proxy information. Pulp 2.2.1 ========== Multiple proxy-related issues related to authentication and HTTPS to the proxy were fixed in `RHBZ #1022662 `_ and `RHBZ #1014368 `_. A `version comparison bug `_ that caused recursive copies to not copy all dependencies was fixed. A race condition with XML namespace parsing `was fixed `_. Several ISO-related bugs were fixed. They can be seen in the list of `all fixed bugs `_.
