Creating images for Rackspace requires a patched version of vhd-util to convert Creating images for Rackspace requires a patched version of vhd-util
the images into the appropriate VHD format. A package is manually managed to convert the images into the appropriate VHD format. See the
at `ppa:openstack-ci-core/vhd-util` and is based on a git repo at `opendev/infra-vhd-util-deb
https://github.com/emonty/vhd-util <https://opendev.org/opendev/infra-vhd-util-deb>`__ for details of
this custom package. This is installed on a production host via a PPA
Updating vhd-util built and published by jobs in this repository.
-----------------
Should it become required to update vhd-util before Infra has a proper
packaging repo or solution in place, one should clone from the git repo::
$ git clone git://github.com/emonty/vhd-util
$ cd vhd-util
Then perform whatever updates and packaging work are needed. The repo is
formatted as a git-buildpackage repo with `--pristine-tar`. When you're ready
to upload a new verion, commit, create a source package and a tag::
$ git-buildpackage --git-tag --git-sign-tags -S
This will make a source package in the parent directory. Upload it to
launchpad::
$ cd ..
$ dput ppa:openstack-ci-core/vhd-util vhd-util_$version_source.changes
Then probably pushing the repo to github and submitting a pull request so that
we can keep up with the change is not a terrible idea.
