I would like to bring to this mailing list a discussion we are having about splitting the stx-openstack application repositories from the main starlingx manifest into a new one.
In order to decouple the OpenStack Clients currently shared between platform and application we are suggesting to decouple the platform and application builds in separate manifests (e.g. starlingx/manifest/default.xml and starlingx/manifest/stx-openstack.xml).
I understand that the new manifest needs to be created and build jobs configured properly and tested, I can also create the Stories for mapping this work later.
BENEFITS: we achieve the freedom of building different versions of the same packages (i.e. openstack clients) that are shared between the platform and the application.
The end goal would be something like:
Remain as is (default manifest aligns to upstream Debian version => Victoria)
============
stx/upstream openstack/barbican
stx/upstream openstack/keystone
stx/upstream openstack/python-barbicanclient
stx/upstream openstack/python-keystoneclient
stx/upstream openstack/python-horizon
stx/upstream openstack/python-openstackclient
Only keep the services needed by the platform. Some existing patches might have been brought forward to support stx-openstack, so we should re-evaluate as part of this.
Those would still be built as part of STX Platform builds, i.e. starlingx/manifest/default.xml
Manifest should not include stx/openstack-armada-app repo anymore.
Relocate (stx-openstack app independently aligns to version of choice: Victoria [current] => Antelope [future])

The OpenStack Distro Team will create a new directory under stx/openstack-armada-app to store all application needed packages.
This will include clients and the stx-openstack Docker images we build only for the application. This way, on stx-openstack build we can build the same packages (name) but using different versions/source code. Manifest does not include
upstream repo.
