Hi, Having an internet connected pulp server could definitely help with creating releases like this. A couple of questions:
Could you help with explaining about more in terms of what you are looking for regarding pruning? Export is challenging for this since what is exported is a yum repository, it does not include information about packages that have been removed. Are you considering running a Pulp server on your disconnected network to make the data available there? Exporting a repository by default creates the mirror of what you would get by accessing it from the pulp server directly. The start-date and end-date parameters are specifically designed for incremental exports. Can you give a specific example of what is missing from the generated iso when you use those parameters? One last question, what version of Pulp are you using?

My initial thought is to have my internet-connected pulp server nightly sync the repos into some -stage repo, then once a month "cut" the release, by copying the -stage repo into a -release repo. What I'm stuck on is how I could determine what changes were made from month to month and move just the changes, along with the updates to the repodata (comps.xml, etc). I want to prune the old packages out as well as add the new ones. I know that the export has --start-date and --end-date parameters, but that does not export the updated repodata, nor does it give me the removed packages. Also, the export doesn't allow me to re-create the release repo in its entirety on the other side. Has anyone else thought about how to create monthly releases?
