Shedi, It looks like you've already done the hardest work, which is overriding the Distro class for your needs. For everything else, the easiest way to get started would be to take a look at a previous PR that added a new distro. For example, support for AlmaLinux (a rhel based distro) was recently added in this PR: https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/872/files
You'll see some various distro lists, setup files, and systemd units that you may need to add your distro to. For testing locally, you'll see where unit tests were added in that AlmaLinux PR. Generally, you'll want to ensure that your distro is correctly identified and that any new behavior you add works as expected. Unit tests can be run by calling "pytest" with the filename you wish to test (they'll also run on our CI when you submit a PR). Guidelines for unit tests can be found here: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/testing.html For running/debugging your distro locally, KVM is probably your best bet. See the documentation here (using your image instead of the one referenced): https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/debugging.html#analyze-quickstart-kvm For the actual process of creating and submitting a PR, we have documentation here: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/hacking.html#submitting-your-first-pull-request Hope that helps! - James On Thu, May 20, 2021 at 1:51 PM Shreenidhi Shedi <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > Hope you all are doing well. > > I am interested in contributing to cloud-init and I submitted one minor > documentation fix to cloud-init sometime back. > > I work on VMware’s open source OS Photon - > https://vmware.github.io/photon/assets/files/html/3.0/Introduction.html > > We have our own distro specific things and we have > https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/dev/SPECS/cloud-init/photon-distro.patch > > And using this patch in our spec file. > > > > I want to make it a part of upstream cloud-init and would like to know how > can I get started in this regard. > > What are the tests I need to add, how can I test my changes in my local build > machine and so on. > > > > Appreciate any kind of help in this regard. > > > > -- > > Shedi > > > > -- > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
