PulpDist has quite a few moving parts. Explaining how to set up a local instance for experimentation with rsync would be worthwhile (similar to much of what the updated developer docs will cover, but assuming RPMs are available)
Marking all remaining PulpDist issues as CLOSED-EOL It doesn't make sense to leave these issues open, as PulpDist hasn't been in active development for quite some time, and restarting development would involve a significant modernisation effort that would likely render many of these requests irrelevant.
