Thanks for the clarification Anne!

I will see you about building the URL for access to the wadl in the api-site repo from the dev guide next week.

I think it's best to request Steve to submit the patch for logic in the build jobs to update the dev guide whenever the api-site wadl is updated, so he will be aware about it.

Hi Anne,

I want to make sure I've understood the ramifications of your statement about content sharing.

So for now, until the infrastructure team provides us with a method to share content between repos, the only way to share the content from the orchestration wadl with the api-ref doc (https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/doc/docbkx/api-ref/src/docbkx/api-ref.xml) is to manually copy the content from the orchestration wadl to the original heat wadl and then use that for the shared content. So we will not delete the original heat wadl until that new method of content sharing is in place. Is this correct?


Hi Mike,
It sounds like the dev team is fine with deleting that "original" heat WADL and only maintaining one from here forward.

The way they will control Icehouse edits to the heat WADL that shouldn't yet be displayed to end users is to use the "Work In Progress" button on review.openstack.org<http://review.openstack.org>. When a patch is marked WIP, you can't merge it.

So, you can safely delete the original Heat WADL and then from your dev guides, if you want to include a WADL, you can point to the one in the api-site repository. We now have a mirror of the github.com<http://github.com> repository at git.openstack.org<http://git.openstack.org> that gives you access to the WADL in the api-site repository at all times. I can walk you through building the URL that points to the WADL file.

What we also need to build is logic in the build jobs so that any time the api-site WADL is updated, your dev guide is also updated. This is done in the Jenkins job in https://github.com/openstack-infra/config/blob/master/modules/openstack_project/files/jenkins_job_builder/config/api-jobs.yaml. I can either submit this patch for you, or I'll ask Steve or Zane to do so.

Hope this helps -

Anne


Thanks!

Mike

Sounds good.

Thanks Mike for asking these questions.

I've been asking the infrastructure team for help with pulling content like the current nova request/response examples into the api-site repo. No subtree merges please. We'll find some way. Right now it's manual.

I believe there is no branching in api-site because it's describing API
and there is no such thing as a havana or icehouse version of an API -
there are the API versions and they are orthogonal to server release
versions. At least in theory. :)

Yep, that's our working theory. :)
