A little more background: Pulp tries to avoid doing this by using a couple of heuristics. In pulp_rpm 3.14 which is shipped with Satellite 6.10, the heuristics were as follows: * If no repository version has been created since the one created by the last sync * If the repomd.xml is the same * If the remote has not been changed since the last sync. THEN the sync is skipped. This is fine in isolation, but in the Katello context, the remote is *always* updated just prior to the sync in order to refresh the TLS client certificates. Thus the heuristic is violated and the sync always occurs. The Pulp upstream bug status is at CLOSED - CURRENTRELEASE. Updating the external tracker on this bug. The Pulp upstream bug priority is at Normal. Updating the external tracker on this bug. All upstream Pulp bugs are at MODIFIED+. Moving this bug to POST. verified on 7.0.0 - 4 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable any repository (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS RPMs was used in testing) 2. Sync it once 3. Sync it again. Actual results: 10 Files synced the first time, none the next time. Expected results: Download all the metadata only if there were changes on the repository Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (Moderate: Satellite 6.11 Release), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.

Description of problem: Every time a repository sync is executed, pulp is downloading all the metadata files from the upstream repository. This generates big downloads, depending on the size of the repo, and a lot of time is wasted processing the same repodata again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.10.1-2.el7sat.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable any repository (used Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS RPMs 8 in my reproducer) 2. Sync it once 3. Sync it again. Check the details of the task from the second sync. Note the step "Downloading Metadata Files" ~~~ - message: Downloading Metadata Files code: sync.downloading.metadata state: completed done: 10 <===== downloaded 10 files ~~~ Actual results: Multiple metadata files downloaded on every sync, consuming bandwidth and resources to process it. Expected results: Download all the metadata only if there were changes on the repository, keeping the downloading and processing time to the minimum possible. Additional info:
