History
Dan Prince c55539b142 Add pkg-map element. 
Adds a new pkg-map element which can be used to install
packages based on an in element 'pkg-map' JSON config
file format.

As part of this change we expose DIB's IMAGE_ELEMENT variable
so that we can have access to the element names which are being
installed in a clean manner.

This change is intended to decouple elements from DIB
and allow new elements to support multiple distributions
(with various package naming schemes) without having to
constantly maintain DIB's various bin/map-packages files.

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

  • Any element may create its own pkg-map JSON config file using the one of 3 sections for the 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 most specific section takes priority. Example for Nova and Glance (NOTE: using fictitious package names for Fedora to provide a good example!)

    Example format: { "distro": { "fedora": { "nova_package": "openstack-compute", "glance_package": "openstack-image" } }, "family": { "redhat": { "nova_package": "openstack-nova", "glance_package": "openstack-glance" } }, "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

  • 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.
