Passing a source-repositories ref of "*" should signal fetching all heads similar to when a non-cached ref is requested. Reuse the same fallback logic, but skip unnecessary checks since "*" is not a real refname. Also expand the fallback to update tags, and to --purge local refs that no longer exist on the remote for additional safety. Change-Id: I4562c9689a8d235ebe09b2f7178aa5890dbc85f1 |

source-repositories
With this element other elements can register their installation source by placing their details in the file source-repository-*. An example of an element "custom-element" that wants to retrieve the ironic source from git and pbr from a tarball would be
File : elements/custom-element/source-repository-ironic
#<name> <type> <destination> <location> [<ref>] # <ref> defaults to master if not specified. # A value of "*" prunes and fetches all heads and tags. ironic git /usr/local/ironic git://git.openstack.org/openstack/ironic.git
File : elements/custom-element/source-repository-pbr
# <ref> is defined as "" by default, although this behavior is deprecated. # A value of "." extracts the entire contents of the tarball. # A value of "" extracts the contents within all its subdirectories. # A value of a subdirectory path may be used to extract only its contents. # A value of a specific file path within the archive is not supported. pbr tar /usr/local/pbr http://tarballs.openstack.org/pbr/pbr-master.tar.gz .
diskimage-builder will then retrieve the sources specified and place them at the directory <destination>
A number of environment variables can be set by the process calling diskimage-builder which can change the details registered by the element, these are
DIB_REPOTYPE<name> : change the registered type DIB_REPOLOCATION<name> : change the registered location DIB_REPOREF<name> : change the registered reference
For example if you would like diskimage-builder to get ironic from a local mirror you could set DIB_REPOLOCATION_ironic=git://localgitserver/ironic.git
As you can see above, the <name> of the repo is used in several bash variables. In order to make this syntactically feasible, any characters not in the set [A-Za-z0-9_] will be converted to _
For instance, a repository named "diskimage-builder" would set a variable called "DIB_REPOTYPE_diskimage_builder"
Alternatively if you would like to use the keystone element and build an image with keystone from a stable branch then you would set DIB_REPOREF_keystone=stable/grizzly
If you wish to build an image using code from a gerrit review, you can set DIB_REPOLOCATION<name> and DIB_REPOREF<name> to the values given by gerrit in the fetch/pull section of a review. For example:
DIB_REPOLOCATION_nova=https://review.openstack.org/openstack/nova DIB_REPOREF_nova=refs/changes/72/61972/8
Additionally, the lines in the source-repository scripts are eval'd, so they may contain environment variables.
Git sources will be cloned to <destination>
Tarballs will be extracted to <destination>.
The package type indicates the element should install from packages onto the root filesystem of the image build during the install.d phase.
Git and Tarballs are treated as source installs. If the element provides an <element-name>-source-install directory under it's install.d hook directory, symlinks to the scripts in that directory will be created under install.d for the image build. Alternatively for the package install type, if the element provides an <element-name>-package-install directory, symlinks will be created for those scripts instead.
For example, the nova element would provide:
nova/install.d/nova-package-install/74-nova nova/install.d/nova-source-install/74-nova
source-repositories will create the following symlink for the package install type:
install.d/74-nova -> nova-package-install/74-nova
Or, for the source install type:
install.d/74-nova -> nova-source-install/74-nova
All other scripts that exist under install.d for an element will be executed as normal. This allows common install code to live in a script outside of <element-name>-package-install or <element-name>-source-install.
If multiple elements register a source location with the same <destination> then source-repositories will exit with an error. Care should therefore be taken to only use elements together that download source to different locations.
The repository paths built into the image are stored in etc/dib-source-repositories, one repository per line. This permits later review of the repositories (by users or by other elements).
The repository names and types are written to an environment.d hook script at 01-source-repositories-environment. This allows later hook scripts during the install.d phase to know which install type to use for the element.
The base url for all git repositories can be set by use of:
DIB_GITREPOBASE
So setting DIB_GITREPOBASE=https://github.com/ when the repo location is set to http://git.openstack.org/openstack/nova.git will result in use of the https://github.com/openstack/nova.git repository.
When doing image builds in environments where external resources are not allowed, it is possible to disable fetching of all source repositories by including an element in the image that sets NO_SOURCE_REPOSITORIES=1 in an environment.d script.
