Description

Author: @gerrod3 (gerrod)

Redmine Issue: 8777, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8777


Content app is now going to auto-distribute the latest publication it can find for a distribution's repository. https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/pull/1328/ This feature requires a query for the latest repository version sorted by earliest pulp_created date. This query could potentially need an index in the future to remain performant.
