Right, I'm not sure if the packaging of those puppet modules was a good idea either. > This formula is part of openstack-salt project and unlike other formulas > that can be found on the Internet these has some more "fashion" like > extensive documentation [1] covering whole ecosystem of Openstack Salt > deployment, unified structure across formulas, automated tests, etc. > [1] http://openstack-salt.tcpcloud.eu/ Ok. > So in ideal state it should be possible to deploy whole Openstack > infrastructure using SaltStack just by using Debian packages provided in > repositories. What value does the Debian package add here? It's not like such a deployment will be automatic without further configuration of salt... and you can use salt rules to download your desired salt formulas. Having dependencies on a salt formula does not add any value either since the code is running on other hosts (minions). > Anyway I also wanted to package non-openstack formulas that are done in > the same way [2] (it's currently about 60 formulas). > [2] https://github.com/tcpcloud?query=salt-formula- Hum, there are many modules there that seem to use the same namespace as other modules hosted here: https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/ Yet they seem to be different implementations...
