[Rdo-list] Creating rpms for Tempest

[Miguel Angel]

I agree it's something interesting for the project,
I've thought of the same a couple of times already.

> configure a separate directory for each OpenStack cluster to be tested.
> Each directory needs to contain:
>
> .testr.conf
> an etc directory containing the tempest.conf and logging.conf files
> a symlink to the tempest test modules for the appropriate version
> a copy of the test run scripts that are in the tools directory of tempest
>
> To help the user create such directories, there should be a global
> executable "configure-tempest-directory" that takes an optional version. If
> multiple versions are present in /var/lib/tempest and no version is
> specified then the user will be asked which version to configure.
>
> User experience:
>
> 1. Install tempest rpm: yum install tempest-4.0
> 2. Run configure-tempest-directory
> 3. Make changes to tempest.conf to match the cluster being tested (and
> possibly logging.conf and .testr.conf as well)
> 4. Run tempest with desired test selection using
> tools/pretty_tox_serial.sh or tools/ pretty_tox_serial
>
> Does any one have any comments/suggestions about this?
