Release Enginering Standard Operating Procedures

Goal

Implement Release Engineering SOPs (Standard Operation Procedures) as simple scripts that take minimal input and perform implemented operations consistently across all product releases.

In Scope

• Features

  • Provide minimal user input, read remaining data from a data store
  • Support running scripts in multiple environments
  • Support for SCLs (Software Collections)

• Implementation

  • Python 2.6+ and 3.4+ with minimal external deps
  • Library implementing business logic
  • Thin CLI wrappers
  • Logging rather than printing to stdout/stderr
  • PyXDG to work with user dirs

• Documentation

  • Docs generated from source code
  • Use Sphinx to generate docs
  • Always document manual steps needed to perform each action

• Tests

  • Unit tests
  • Sanity tests checking data in JSON files and PDC

Out Of Scope

• WebUI / Webservice
• Workflows
• Messagebus support
• Central logging

Phase 1 - Prototype

• Use PDC release IDs.
• Identify data and store it in JSON files named by the PDC release IDs.
• Focus primarily on RPMs.

Phase 2 - PDC Integration

• Move data from JSON files to PDC database.
• Keep the JSON backend around for debugging, testing etc.

Ideas (To Be Implemeted Later)

• Support for content types other than RPM.
