Pulp Community Roadmap Update

Over the coming months, the Pulp team will focus on the following areas. As with all plans, this roadmap is subject to change. Many of the items in this plan factor into Katello and GalaxyNG roadmaps. Further updates will be announced on the Pulp blog and community. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to write or post to our community channels!

OSTree plugin

While Pulp 2 had an OSTree plugin, Pulp 3 was released without any OSTree functionality. We are happy to announce that a basic proof-of-concept OSTree plugin is now in the works. The initial release of the plugin will focus on providing functionality for the basic Pulp workflow that includes synchronizing, importing, and consuming OSTree content in Pulp. We will publish updates on this blog as the plugin takes shape. If you would like to contribute to our efforts, or would like to see what we’re working on, you can take a look at our github repo.
