Since most of tripleo-ansible modules do 'import foobar', we should ensure that we have the corresponding python packages installed on target hosts. Some of them, like python3-dmidecode may be in base Centos8 images. But some may not, especially for custom deployed-servers provided by users for deployments.
Those packages must be tracked and ensured to be installed by tripleo (preferred), or validated deploy-time (nah...), or at least documented as the modules get created or changed by devs.
That also applies to adding action plugins' deps for python-tripleoclient or tripleo-ansible perhaps.
Shall we write a spec for that or just address that as a bug [0]?
If we're talking only about tripleo-ansible, we might "just" add the new dependencies in the spec file in tripleo-ansible-distgit. If we're talking more broadly, as said in the LP, a meta-package (tripleo-dependencies for instance) might be a nice thing, since it would allow to take care of: - package pinning (staring at YOU, podman) - package dependencies As for a proper spec, it might be interesting for future reference. Not really sure if it's really needed, but... Cheers, C. -- Cédric Jeanneret (He/Him/His) Sr. Software Engineer - OpenStack Platform Deployment Framework TC Red Hat EMEA https://www.redhat.com/
