We now unconditionally cache the repositories being fetched with source-repositories. Additionally, by improving the way we handle repository refs, we are now able to build images with code taken directly from gerrit reviews. Change-Id: Ifd4c5691f6761eb5551663e6d0aa1c0e42afced3

With this element other elements can register source code repositories by
|
|
placing their details in the file source-repository-\*. An example
|
|
of an element "custom-element" that wants to retrieve the ironic source
|
|
from git and pbr from a tarball would be
|
|
|
|
*File : elements/custom-element/source-repository-ironic*
|
|
|
|
#<name> <type> <destination> <location> [<ref>]
|
|
# <ref> defaults to master if not specified
|
|
ironic git /usr/local/ironic git://git.openstack.org/openstack/ironic.git
|
|
|
|
*File : elements/custom-element/source-repository-pbr*
|
|
|
|
pbr tar /usr/local/pbr http://tarballs.openstack.org/pbr/pbr-master.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
diskimage-builder will then retrieve the sources specified and place them
|
|
at the directory \<destination\>
|
|
|
|
A number of environment variables can be set by the process calling
|
|
diskimage-builder which can change the details registered by the element, these are
|
|
|
|
DIB_REPOTYPE_<name> : change the registered type
|
|
DIB_REPOLOCATION_<name> : change the registered location
|
|
DIB_REPOREF_<name> : change the registered reference
|
|
|
|
for example if you would like diskimage-builder to get ironic from a local
|
|
mirror you could set DIB_REPOLOCATION_ironic=git://localgitserver/ironic.git
|
|
|
|
Alternatively if you would like to use the keystone element and build an image with
|
|
keystone from a stable branch then you would set DIB_REPOREF_keystone=stable/grizzly
|
|
|
|
If you wish to build an image using code from a gerrit review, you can set
|
|
DIB_REPOLOCATION_<name> and DIB_REPOREF_<name> to the values given by gerrit in the
|
|
fetch/pull section of a review. For example:
|
|
|
|
DIB_REPOLOCATION_nova=https://review.openstack.org/openstack/nova
|
|
DIB_REPOREF_nova=refs/changes/72/61972/8
|
|
|
|
Git sources will be cloned to \<destination\>
|
|
|
|
Tarballs will be extracted to \<destination\>. Tarballs should contain a
|
|
single topleval directory, regardless of the name of this top level directory
|
|
it will be renamed to \<destination\>
|
|
|
|
If multiple elements register a source location with the same <destination>
|
|
then source-repositories will exit with an error. Care should therefore be taken
|
|
to only use elements together that download source to different locations.
|
|
|
|
The repository paths built into the image are stored in
|
|
etc/dib-source-repositories, one repository per line. This permits later review
|
|
of the repositories (by users or by other elements).
