[Rdo-list] Fwd: [OpenStack-docs] [install-guide] Status of RDO

Thu Oct 15 18:31:06 UTC 2015

I plan to make a more detailed post to the OpenStack documentation mailing
list regarding the installation guide development process, but here's a
quick list of prerequisites:

1) Installation guide contributors often find packaging bugs long before
"test days" for any distribution. For some distributions, we provide the
only "real world" testing. Packagers should take advantage of our labor by
providing a process to address potential bugs in a timely fashion.

2) Packages become available at a known and consistent location at some
point during the milestone tags, ideally a bit over a month before the
official upstream release, and update in a timely fashion to include at
least one release candidate for each project. Release packages become
available, at least for testing, within a week of the upstream release.

3) Packages follow best practices for deployment. In most cases, this
simply involves including upstream example configuration files with default
values. If a project requires generation of example configuration files,
run the necessary procedure prior to packaging it.

4) Packages only reference upstream configuration files in standard
locations (e.g., /etc/keystone).
