Description

Author: @gerrod3 (gerrod)

Redmine Issue: 8204, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8204


Currently pulp import creates all the content models before creating the new repository version meaning that models with foreign keys to repository version can not be imported. This is currently the case with the AnsibleCollectionDeprecated model in pulp_ansible. It's possible other plugins have similarly difficult models to export/import that would need this solution.

Research direction

Start by tracing the pulp import flow described in the issue, focusing on where content models are created relative to the new repository version. Review how AnsibleCollectionDeprecated references repository versions and whether other plugins have the same constraint. Done means imports can handle models with foreign keys to the repository version without breaking existing plugin imports.
