Pulp has a feature that does this for RPMs, and is an optional setting on the yum importer. See "retain_old_count" here: http://docs.pulpproject.org/plugins/pulp_rpm/tech-reference/yum-plugins.html#yum-importer Katello would need to expose that option. For any other similar functionality, for example with other data types, the user must be given the opportunity to choose what kind of pruning should happen. Pulp's default is to retain content by default, which is an important guarantee. I'm moving this to the "Content Management" component, so that katello can evaluate any other desired pruning scenarios, and make pulp RFEs as required. In Satellite 6.2, there are a couple of features that may be set on repositories that may be useful in managing space: 1. 'Mirror on Sync': With this feature, each time a repository is synchronized, if a new version of a package is downloaded, the old version is removed. 2. 'On Demand' (Download Policy): With this feature, the content will only get downloaded to the filesystem when a client requests it. Would either of these features address the customers needs? |
