NAME¶

pkgos-merge-templates - merge the shared OpenStack debconf templates into a package

SYNOPSIS¶

pkgos-merge-templates PKG_NAME TEMPLATE_NAME [TEMPLATE...]

DESCRIPTION¶

pkgos-merge-templates builds the debian/PKG_NAME.templates debconf templates file of a Debian OpenStack package from the shared templates shipped in /usr/share/openstack-pkg-tools/debconf-templates. It first concatenates an eventual package specific debian/PKG_NAME.templates.in, then all of the requested shared openstack-pkg-tools.configure-<TEMPLATE>.templates files, and rewrites the "Template: ospt/" namespace prefix into "Template: <TEMPLATE_NAME>/". It also merges the .po translation files of the shared templates into debian/po/, and makes sure that debian/po/POTFILES.in lists the templates file. It must be run from the root of the package source tree, and is normally called from debian/rules of each OpenStack package.

OPTIONS¶

PKG_NAME

Name of the binary package for which to build the templates, for example "nova-common".

TEMPLATE_NAME

Namespace prefix to use for the Template: fields, typically the package name without the -common suffix, for example "nova".

TEMPLATE

Name of a shared templates group to concatenate. Available groups are named after the files in /usr/share/openstack-pkg-tools/debconf-templates, for example "configure-db", "configure-endpoint", "configure-keystone-authtoken" and "configure-rabbit".

EXAMPLES¶

pkgos-merge-templates nova-common nova configure-db configure-endpoint
