Updated the py_pkgs lookup plugin for multi source
The py_pkgs lookup plugin will now handle multiple sources. This change
was needed to enable the system to allow for overrides of repo_package
resources and general python packaging as found throughout the stack.
The module has precedence as it loads / searches for packages and he item
loaded last is the one that has the most precedence.

The repo-build play has been updated to now search for compatible packages
in the main playbook directory, the root ansible role directory and the
user_variables file.

Documentation has been added regarding this capability and how to override
and set items to meet the needs of the deployment.

Packages Downloads and Installable

Any and all packages that need to be installed for this repository to work should be specified here in the, repo_packages directory. The files in this directory are given to the python wheel builder for construction.

Inside these files all download-able objects such as tar-balls and random files should also be specified. While the packaging roles may not be used to process these links the stated purpose of this directory is to have anything that is "installable" in a single location with the goal to allow for easily manipulation of requirements as they change.

NOTICE on items in this file:
  • If you use anything in the "*._git_install_branch" field that is not a TAG make sure to leave an in-line comment as to "why".
For the sake of anyone else editing this file:
  • If you add clients to this file please do so in alphabetical order.
  • Every entry should be name spaced with the name of the client followed by an "_"
Repository data can be set in any of the following locations by default.
  • <MAIN REPO LOCATION>
  • /etc/ansible/roles
  • /etc/openstack_deploy
The basic structure of all of these files:
  • git_repo: string URI to the git repository to clone from.
  • git_fallback_repo: string URI to an alternative git repository to clone from when git_repo fails.
  • git_dest: string full path to place a cloned git repository. This will normally incorporate the repo_path variable for consistency purposes.
  • git_install_branch: string branch, tag or SHA of a git repository to clone into.
  • git_repo_plugins: list of hashes with keys: path, package | This is used to install additional packages which may be installable from the same base repository.
  • git_package_name: string that will override the "egg" name given for the repo.
