PulpDist - Filtered Mirroring with Pulp

PulpDist is a set of Pulp plugins and an associated Django application that together allow a network of Pulp servers to be used as a filtered mirroring network with robust access control mechanisms.

The project is in a usable state for the specific task of filtered mirroring with rsync, but still has quite a few rough edges. In particular, it still relies on the alpha version of the plugin APIs in Pulp v1 rather than using the updated version that are coming in Pulp v2.
