To better support diskimage-builder based IPA images going forward, we'd like to move the ironic-agent element into the ironic-python-agent repository. This will involve:
- Improving support for having multiple copies of an element, so that we may deprecate the diskimage-builder repository copy of the element. See this change and related: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/334785 - Moving the element into the repository. This change has been proposed as https://review.openstack.org/#/c/335583/ - Deprecating the diskimage-builder copy of the element (TBD) - Adding tests to gate IPA changes on DIB builds (TBD) - Add upload of DIB-built images to tarballs.openstack.org (TBD) Many IPA deployers currently use DIB based IPA images using the ironic-agent element. However, IPA does not officially support DIB - IPA changes are not tested against DIB, nor are DIB-built images published. This has the following disadvantages: - The DIB element is not versioned along with IPA, resulting in potential version mismatch and breakage - ironic-agent element changes are not tested with DIB prior to merge Understandably, tripleo and other projects may have concerns with regard to this change. I hope to start a discussion here so that those concerns can be addressed. Further in-depth discussion of this issue can be found in the relevant launchpad bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic-python-agent/+bug/1590935 Thanks, Stephane
