I would like to suggest that we create a new repo for housing the tools required to build ironic python agent images: ironic-python-agent-builder(tooling). This would include, the DIB element, the existing coreos and tinyipa methods and hopefully in the future the buildroot method for creating IPA images.
+1, I like this one as well.
The reason I propose a separation of tooling and IPA itself is that the tooling is mostly detached from which version of IPA is being built into the image, and often when we make changes to the tooling that change should be included in images built for all versions of IPA which involves us having to backport these changes to all currently maintained versions of IPA. Hopefully having this as a separate repo will also simplify packaging for distros as they won’t need to include IPA itself with the tooling to build it. I’m happy with the name ironic-python-agent for the element, I think that is more intuitive anyway. An RFE or multiple might be useful for tracking this work.
Ok, will create after today's meeting (I submitted this thread as a topic there).

It got stuck, and I'd like to restart the discussion.The reason for this move is to make the DIB element in question one of*official* ways to build IPA. This includes gating on both IPA and the element changes, which we currently don't do.The primary concern IIRC was elements name clash. We can solve it by justrenaming the element. The new one will be called "ironic-python-agent".From the packaging perspective, we'll create a new subpackageopenstack-ironic-python-agent-elements (the RDO name, may differ for other distribution) that will only ship /usr/share/ironic-python-agent-elements with the ironic-python-agent element within it. To pick the new element, the consumers will have to add /usr/share/ironic-python-agent-elements to the ELEMENTS_PATH, and change the element name from ironic-agent to ironic-python-agent.Please let me know what you think about the approach. If there are no objects,I'll work on this move in the coming weeks.P.S.Do we need an Ironic RFE for that?__________________________________________________________________________OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev__________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
