[TriZPUG] Talk Proposal

[Randy Barlow]

Hi!

I work on the Pulp Project[0][1] and am interested in presenting some
work I've been doing on it that may be useful to you. Pulp is a
datacenter management tool that aides in creating software repositories
and pushing software out to consumers. Historically it has focused on
Yum and Puppet repositories, but lately my team has been focusing on
writing many new plugins.

I've recently been making a set of Python plugins for Pulp that will
allow you to use Pulp to host pip repositories[2]. Currently (on my
development branch) it's possible to upload Python source tarballs to a
Pulp repository, publish that repository, and use pip to install
packages from it. There are many possibilities that I've not yet
implemented:

* Synchronize packages from PyPi
* Use Pulp to manage virtualenvs on remote machines
* Copy packages between Pulp Python repositories to aid in dev -->
testing --> production workflows
* …and more!

I've not yet reached a point of making a release of this new plugin as
it's in the very early stages, but I would like to show you all what
I've been doing and talk about the possibilities for its future if you
are interested. We'd love for you to get involved and help us build this
together as a community!
