[Pulp-list] Question on purging stale rpms

[Michael Hrivnak]

It sounds like you want to use "remove-missing", which will remove local
packages that are now missing from the remote repo.

However, if the remote feed actually now has A1, A2, and B1, but you don't
care about A1 anymore, then set retain-old-count to 0. That will cause pulp
to keep zero old versions of each package; at the end of the sync, it would
remove A1 from the local repo, because A1 is older than A2.

You can specify these in the importer's json config file, save them in the
importer's config, or specify them in the override config with every sync
call you make. Pick your favorite!
