Mathieu Mitchell a0ca6ce157 Enforce upper-constraints when building ramdisks 
Currently, building ramdisks installs ironic-python-agent without any
upper-constraints. This causes the package to be installed with newer,
untested dependencies.

This commits introduces a tool to generate a local upper-constraints
file based on predefined strategies (below). Additionally, the fallback
to the openstack/requirements uses the URL defined in tox.ini instead of
redefining it. This prevents having to keep track of two separate
variables when releasing.

upper-constraints lookup strategies (in order):

  * UPPER_CONSTRAINTS_FILE points to a local file
  * UPPER_CONSTRAINTS_FILE points to a URL
  * /opt/stack/new/requirements/upper-constraints.txt
  * upper-constraints.txt from openstack/requirements git repository

README.rst

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
