Redmine Issue: 9214, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/9214


Pulp provides a nice dry run api when importing that cheks things like

  • Importing archive files are in the right place
  • Have the right perms
  • repositories exist etc.

We need a similar api for the exports

  • Check if the export stuff has the correct perms
  • Export path is in the EXPORT_PATH
  • Export has enough disk space

Research direction

Review the existing import dry-run API and the export implementation first; the issue does not name files or tests. Done means an export dry run checks permissions, whether the export path is allowed, and available disk space.
