Bence Romsics c1e12a0fd1 Improve Extraroute API
As discussed in an openstack-discuss thread [1] we could improve the
extraroute API to better support Neutron API clients, especially Heat.

The problem is that the current extraroute API does not allow atomic
additions/deletions of particular routing table entries. In the current
API the routes attribute of a router (containing all routing table
entries) must be updated at once. Therefore additions and deletions
must be performed on the client side. Therefore multiple clients race
to update the routes attribute and updates may get lost.

OpenStack Neutron Specifications

This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions to the Neutron project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.

The layout of this repository is:

specs/<release>/

You can find an example spec in specs/template.rst.

Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the specs/<release> directory and posting it for review. The implementation status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.

Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed to make sure it still makes sense as written.

Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec reviews. Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad blueprints:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron

Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the current status of blueprints. For more information, see:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints

For more information about working with gerrit, see:

https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow

To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:

$ tox

After running tox, the documentation will be available for viewing in HTML format in the doc/build/ directory. Please do not check in the generated HTML files as a part of your commit.
