pkg-map¶

Map package names to distro specific packages.

Provides the following:

• bin/pkg-map:

  usage: pkg-map [-h] [--element ELEMENT] [--distro DISTRO]
  
  Translate package name to distro specific name.
  
  optional arguments:
    -h, --help         show this help message and exit
    --element ELEMENT  The element (namespace) to use for translation.
    --distro DISTRO    The distro name to use for translation. Defaults to
                       DISTRO_NAME
    --release RELEASE  The release to use for translation.  Defaults to
                       DIB_RELEASE
  

• Any element may create its own pkg-map JSON config file using the one of 4 sections for the release/distro/family/ and or default. The family is set automatically within pkg-map based on the supplied distro name. Families include:

  • redhat: includes centos, fedora, and rhel distros
  • debian: includes debian and ubuntu distros
  • suse: includes the opensuse distro

  The release is a specification of distro; i.e. the distro and release must mach for a translation.

  The most specific section takes priority.

  An empty package list can be provided.

  Example for Nova and Glance (NOTE: using fictitious package names for Fedora and package mapping for suse family to provide a good example!)

  Example format:

  {
    "release": {
      "fedora": {
        "23": {
          "nova_package": "foo" "bar"
        }
      }
    },
    "distro": {
      "fedora": {
        "nova_package": "openstack-compute",
        "glance_package": "openstack-image"
      }
    },
    "family": {
      "redhat": {
        "nova_package": "openstack-nova",
        "glance_package": "openstack-glance"
      },
      "suse": {
        "nova_package": ""
      }
    },
    "default": {
      "nova_package": "nova",
      "glance_package": "glance"
    }
  }
  

  Example commands using this format:

  pkg-map –element nova-compute –distro fedora nova_package

  Returns: openstack-compute

  pkg-map –element nova-compute –distro rhel nova_package

  Returns: openstack-nova

  pkg-map –element nova-compute –distro ubuntu nova_package

  Returns: nova

  pkg-map –element nova-compute –distro opensuse nova_package

  Returns:

• This output can be used to filter what other tools actually install (install-packages can be modified to use this for example)

• Individual pkg-map files live within each element. For example if you are created an Apache element your pkg-map JSON file should be created at elements/apache/pkg-map.
