Ben Nemec 16be6d7ce0 set -u and -o pipefail everywhere 
As with the previous similar changes, this is intended to catch
problems as they happen instead of ignoring them and continuing on
to potentially fail later.  Setting this on all existing scripts
will allow us to enforce use via Jenkins.

Inject a PyPI mirror

Use a custom PyPI mirror to build images. The default is to bind mount one from ~/.cache/image-create/pypi/mirror into the build environment. The element temporarily overwrites /root/.pip.conf and .pydistutils.cfg to use it.

When online, the official pypi.python.org pypi index is supplied as an extra-url, so uncached dependencies will still be available. When offline, only the mirror is used - be warned that a stale mirror will cause build failures. To disable the pypi.python.org index without using --offline (e.g. when working behind a corporate firewall that prohibits pypi.python.org) set DIB_NO_PYPI_PIP to any non-empty value.

To use an arbitrary mirror set PYPI_MIRROR_URL=http[s]://somevalue/

Additional mirrors can be added by exporting PYPI_MIRROR_URL_1=... etc. Only the one mirror can be used by easy-install, but since wheels need to be in the first mirror to be used, the last listed mirror is used as the pydistutils index. NB: The sort order for these variables is a simple string sort - if you have more than 9 additional mirrors, some care will be needed.

A typical use of this element is thus: export PYPI_MIRROR_URL=http://site/pypi/Ubuntu-13.10 export PYPI_MIRROR_URL_1=http://site/pypi/

pypi-mirror can be useful in making a partial PyPI mirror suitable for building images. For instance:

  • sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev
    libnspr4-dev pkg-config libsqlite3-dev libzmq-dev libffi-dev libldap2-dev
    libsasl2-dev

  • pip install git+https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/pypi-mirror

  • cat << EOF > mirror.yaml cache-root: /home/USER/.cache/image-create/pypi/download

    mirrors:

  • mkdir -p /home/USER/.cache/image-create/pypi/{download,mirror}

  • run-mirror -b remotes/origin/master --verbose -c mirror.yaml

    This creates and updates the mirror.

If you have additional packages that are not identified in the global openstack requirements project, you can include them:

  • pip install -d ~/.cache/image-create/pypi/download/pip/openstack
    heat-cfntools distribute os-apply-config run-mirror -b remotes/origin/master --verbose -c mirror.yaml --no-download

A dedicated user with no privileges may be desirable when running this for unattended installs, since pypi-mirror will compile fairly arbitrary code from the internet.
