pyrpmostreetoolbox: New Python library #70
Conversation
This can be used by other projects to do rpm-ostree related rel-eng stuff, since rpm-ostree isn't a shared library right now. Change the treecompose command to use it.

What kind of stability guarantee are we making with this new library? |
|
I think it has to be "forever". |
This can be used by scripts to generate reports and such.
This can be used by release engineering tools.
|
I think doing much more is going to block a bit on test cases. Which in turn gets messy as rpm-ostree compose tree needs to run as root because rpm does. This is related to coreos/rpm-ostree#90 |
|
I'm thinking that we should make a new git repository dedicated to python-rpmostree releng bits, and change -toolbox to dep on that. Any objections? |
|
Right now -toolbox i s a big bag of stuff, pulling in lorax/imagefactory/docker, plus a big pile of Perl, etc., whereas not every releng task needs all of that. |
|
Splitting it out seems sensible. Lugging around a whole toolbox when you just need a screwdriver is suboptimal. Though it kinda feels like those bits should somehow, someday end up in rpm-ostree proper. |

This is obsoleted by coreos/rpm-ostree#139 |
