Description Chris Duryee 2016-04-13 19:52:45 UTC
Description of problem:

As part of the "run" phase of a Katello repo create, it will tell Pulp to do a publish. This is needed in order to fill in the repo immediately, so consumers don't get a 404 in between the time when the user creates the repo in the web UI, and when Pulp does the publish after unit association.

However, when cloning repos, there's no need to do this extra publish. In fact, it can lead to slowness since there's now two publishes happening instead of one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2.0 beta snapshot


How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sync a large repo (rhel 6 server is a good one)
2. create CV, add repo, publish CV version

Actual results: YMMV, but this can take about five minutes

Expected results: 3-ish minutes

Additional info: If you perform the publish and look at the tasks list, you'll see a "metadata generate" task owned by foreman_api_admin user. This is the task that should go away for CV version publishes.

Also note: this is one issue related to slow CV publish, but there may be other areas that could use optimization.
