Open Stack

Dear Alex,

thanks for the reply. In my case, the undercloud is running on CenOS 8:

[stack at undercloud ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core) 

What I'm trying to install is "upstream TripleO", if such a thing
even exists. The packages are built for RHEL 8/CentOS 8, at least:

[stack at undercloud ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/openstack
python3-openstackclient-4.0.1-0.20200817052906.bff556c.el8.noarch
[stack at undercloud ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/python-tripleoclient/undercloud.conf.sample
python3-tripleoclient-12.3.2-0.20200820055917.c15d0d0.el8.noarch

I'm most curious about what a TripleO developer would do in this case.
Surely there's a way to have some local repository of some yet unknown
component, which I can then instrument or modify, and which is
responsible for dealing with PXE. But what is it?

Yours,
-- Pete
