[Starlingx-discuss] [Containers] Package Requirements on the bare-metal controller-0

[Saul Wold]

Folks,

I was doing some experimentation with an un-patched CentOS and running 
config_controller. One of the main issues I found is that doing the 
initial installation and execution discovered many un-resolved runtime 
requirements.

I will start sending some pull requests to fault, metal, and config with 
more detailed "Requires:" statements.

Another item is that since that we are rebuilding openstack-keystone 
among other openstack related packages with additional configuration and 
scripts, which are needed for controller-0. In the stx-integ (base OS) 
case, we re-factored many of the packages to remove configuration and 
additional scripts to a separate package, I would like to see something 
similar here for packages are are needed for controller-0 (ie the things 
we are not installing from PyPi directly).

What I saw is that we include the CentOS-Openstack RPM repo along with, 
of course, our StarlingX RPM repo. Why can't we use the CentOS-Openstack 
packages directly along with some StarlingX specific additions in a 
seperate package, rather than creating a new package with both upstream 
and StarlingX content.

Thoughts,

Sau!
