Maybe we should just publish into Pulp and have them do that bit for
us automatically. I wouldn't personally be comfortable with that until
Pulp is available in Fedora for people to easily deploy, but I know
the COPR folks are investigating it for their tooling. And the
AlmaLinux folks use Pulp for their system for similar reasons.
Pulp is designed to handle super-huge repositories like that.
I haven't looked at pulp in years... but back when I did it seemed
pretty complex and heavy, but sure we could look at it again. I suspect some
of the things we do wouldn't be to compatible, like bodhi injecting
security/bugfix/enhancement data into repodata after it's made.
In any case we don't have it now, so I still think dropping drpms for
now is the way to go.
