Nick I was wondering if we are reinventing a wheel a little bit here. I am talking about plugin format. It seems that our plugin structure is a bundle of three entities: 1) code, whether it is python, puppet or ruby 2) some artifacts or static data, e.g. rpm or deb packages 3) metadata (openstack.yaml, module version, requirements and so on)
I am pretty sure that there is already a framework that can handle such bundles. I think, we need to look for analogues in Java world an their alternatives in python. It should be more advanced than pip obviously and more abstract, but I think we should give it a shot. Hello everybody! We had a meeting on Fuel (mostly Nailgun) plugins architecture. So, there were multiple topics to discuss, we didn't really achieve an agreement, but made some really helpful notes. 1. We should provide infrastructure for plugins, which means making most of Nailgun entities abstract/default, allowing plugins to override them and implement their own business logic on top. This may include multiple levels (usually two), like Neutron plugin and NSX plugin for Neutron plugin. 2. There will be some core plugins, which will be installed together with Nailgun and can't be deleted without ruining an important functionality. 3. In some cases plugins will override behaviour of default Nailgun HTTP handlers, but in this case they will follow some certain guides on formatting. 4. We leave existing hooks as is and add it when needed, it's too hard for now to determine certain places which may be overrided. Also, we already need some infrastructure for third-party developers to jump from. 5. Some documentation on how plugins should be provided and tested. As for now, it looks like each plugin or group of plugins will have it's own repo and will be provided as a bunch of RPM packages to install into Docker containers. Any additions, colleagues? Also, we're planning to organize a meeting in English tomorrow together with guys from Poland and maybe other places. Which time is the most appropriate for you? -- Best regards, Nick Markov -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fuel-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fuel-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
