<font face="Hack">Hi All<br>
<br>
I would like to get some feedback on this packaging change:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://review.rdoproject.org/r/#/c/1909">https://review.rdoproject.org/r/#/c/1909</a><br>
<br>
</font>This change creates a new subpackage python-heat-agent out of<br>
openstack-heat-templates.<br>
<br>
Currently image building or boot configuration has to do a number of<br>
non-obvious steps to end up with a server ready to perform
heat-driven<br>
software deployments.<br>
<br>
The package python-heat-agent installs all dependencies and files<br>
required to do this, resulting in a boot config on a pristine image<br>
being as simple as:<br>
<br>
yum -y install
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm">https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm</a><br>
yum -y install python-heat-agent<br>
systemctl enable os-collect-config<br>
systemctl start --no-block os-collect-config<br>
<br>
python-heat-agent installs one hook which allows configuration via<br>
heat templates. The aim is to create another subpackage per<br>
configuration tool hook in heat-templates. So
python-heat-agent-puppet<br>
will install the puppet hook and depend on python-heat-agent and<br>
puppet packages.<br>
<br>
This depends on some upstream heat-templates changes:<br>

<br>
As far as TripleO goes, this packaging approach has the potential to
eliminate the need for diskimage-builder invoking heat-templates
elements, and further reducing the use of tripleo-image-elements -
I'd like to have a discussion on openstack-dev around whether there
should be a push to remove tripleo-image-elements entirely.
