rdoinfo is a git repository containing information about current RDO releases, packages, maintainers and more, currently in two YAML files, rdo.yml and deps.yaml:
- rdo.yml contains information of RDO releases, OpenStack packages included in RDO Trunk
repositores and package configurations used by these packages. * deps.yml contains metadata for general purpose dependencies which are external requirements for OpenStack services and don't exist in CentOS core repositories. These packages are included in RDO CloudSIG repos but not in RDO Trunk.
rdoinfo python module provided in this repo is needed for parsing and validating the info file.
An example of metadata associated to a package is provided here:
- project: novaclient
name: python-novaclient
conf: rpmfactory-client
upstream: git://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-novaclient
patches: http://review.rdoproject.org/r/p/openstack/novaclient.git
distgit: https://github.com/rdo-packages/novaclient-distgit.git
master-distgit: https://github.com/rdo-packages/novaclient-distgit.git
review-origin: ssh://review.rdoproject.org:29418/openstack/novaclient-distgit.git

Following attributes are assigned to packages:
- project: is the name of the upstream project
- name: package name
- conf: rdoinfo configuration assigned to the project (see attributes inheritance section)
- maintainers: The list of package maintainers used as a reference of who takes ownership of the package. It does not mean that nobody else can do modifications to the spec, but it will be used to notify the owners when a package fails to build.
Git repositories for the package:
- upstream: git repository containing the upstream code
- master-distgit: git repository containing the distgit for the package, used by DLRN rdoinfo driver.
- distgit: (legacy) similar to master-distgit but not longer used by DLRN. It will be deprecated.
- review-origin: git repository for gerrit reviews on distgit
- patches: git repository containing patches applied on packaging
- review-patches: git repository for gerrit reviews for patches applied on packaging
tags attribute is used by the RDO Trunk builders to determine which releases we need to build a package for, and if we need to use some release-specific information for a project:
- release tags, as newton, ocata, pike or pike-uc means that the package will be
included in the RDO Trunk repo for that specific release.
- source-branch: inside a release tag defines the git branch, tag or commit will be built for the release. In the above example, python-novaclient 6.0.1 will be built for Newton, etc...
- In addition to the release names, we can use some special tags:
- under-review is used during the review phase for a new package. Having this tag allows our CI jobs to build the package while being reviewed, but prevents RDO Trunk builders from adding it to the repos.
- version-locked is used to prevent our periodic jobs from proposing updates to the source-branch tag in projects managed by the upper-constraints file.
- buildsys-tags: are used to specify the tagged builds in RDO CloudSIG repos for each
tag in CentOS Build System (CBS). It contains a set of mappings where the key is the
CBS tag name and the value is the package NVR included in the tag.
- version-locked can be used as buildsys-tag key to disable automatic update by periodic job. if a list of CBS tags is assigned to version-locked buildsys-tag, only the tags in the list are locked. If it's empty automatic job will ignore the package for all tags.
rdoinfo has a package configurations mechanism to provide different defaults for package atributes. These configurations define a template for certain fields that follow a common pattern, such as upstream Git repo or package name. These configurations include:
- rpmfactory-core, for service projects (e.g. Nova, Neutron)
- rpmfactory-client, for Python clients (e.g. python-glanceclient, python-cinderclient)
- rpmfactory-lib, for generic Python libraries (e.g. oslo-sphinx, oslo-messaging)
- rpmfactory-puppet, for Puppet modules
- rpmfactory-tempest-plugin, for tempest plugins packages
- unmanaged-dependency, for dependencies whose distgit is not managed using RDO gerrit instance.
Once you have defined a configuration in your new project section using conf atribute, most of the options are defined for you. Note that any option specified in the package section will override the option inherited from the configuration.
rdoinfo is managed using [RDO SoftwareFactory instance](https://review.rdoproject.org/r/#/q/project:rdoinfo). In order to modify it you need to [login using your github account](https://review.rdoproject.org/auth/logout). Once your account is created:
Clone the rdoinfo repository:
git clone https://review.rdoproject.org/r/rdoinfo
Edit the rdo.yml or deps.yml files with the required changes.
Run verify.py script for basic sanity check.
Use git review to propose a change.
rdoinfo is a dynamic information source so you probably want some mechanism to sync latest from github and import the rdoinfo parser module in order to have up-to-date RDO information.
See rdoinfo/__init__.py:parse_info_file function or verify.py script to get an idea what's going on.
rdopkg provides rdopkg.actionmods.rdoinfo module which can fetch this repo for you (into ~/.rdopkg/rdoinfo by default), keep it up-to-date, easily import the parser and give you the parsed info structure.
from rdopkg.actionmods import rdoinfo
inforepo = rdoinfo.get_default_inforepo()
inforepo.init()
info = inforepo.get_info()Projects that use rdoinfo:
