OpenStack Valence Specifications
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions
|
|
to the Valence project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar
|
|
workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.
|
|
|
|
The layout of this repository is::
|
|
|
|
specs/<release>/
|
|
|
|
Where there are two sub-directories:
|
|
|
|
specs/<release>/approved: specifications approved but not yet implemented
|
|
specs/<release>/implemented: implemented specifications
|
|
|
|
This directory structure allows you to see what we thought about doing,
|
|
decided to do, and actually got done. Users interested in functionality in a
|
|
given release should only refer to the ``implemented`` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can find an example spec in `doc/source/specs/template.rst`.
|
|
|
|
Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the
|
|
`specs/<release>` directory and posting it for review. The implementation
|
|
status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the
|
|
blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.
|
|
|
|
Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be
|
|
quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed
|
|
to make sure it still makes sense as written.
|
|
|
|
Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the
|
|
current status of blueprints. For more information, see::
|

|
|
|
|
For more information about working with gerrit, see::
|

|
|
|
|
To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more
|
|
confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command::
|
|
|
|
$ tox
|
|
|
|
After running ``tox``, the documentation will be available for viewing in HTML
|
|
format in the ``doc/build/`` directory.
