[Starlingx-discuss] adding packages normally installed using "pip install"

I got your idea, and yes, the armada enabling path in openstack-helm is different from the way in airship.
IMO, pyp2rpm is the best choice, or you have to either leverage other distro's spec or write spec on your own. 

Thanks,

I found that as well.  Armada wants at least version 3.4.

As far as I know our build system is unable to run docker commands since it is potentially running within a docker container itself.  There are plans to change this but as far as I know the work hasn't yet been done.

The Armada "quick start" suggests running Armada in a container for expediency, but if you follow the armada deployment scripts in openstack-helm it installs armada directly on the host.

I had indeed been planning on creating RPMs for armada and a few packages it depends on, but I'm reconsidering this given some issues I've run into with armada itself.
