melissaml 443250d9b5 Rename review.openstack.org to review.opendev.org
There are many references to review.openstack.org, and while the
redirect should work, we can also go ahead and fix them.

Refstack Specifications

This folder is used to hold design specifications for additions to the RefStack project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.

The layout of this folder is as follows:

specs/<release>/
specs/<release>/approved
specs/<release>/implemented

The lifecycle of a specification

Specifications are proposed by adding an .rst file to the specs/<release>/approved directory and posting it for review. You can find an example specification in /specs/template.rst.

Once a specification has been fully implemented, meaning a patch has landed, it will be moved to the implemented directory and the corresponding blueprint will be marked as complete.

Specifications are only approved for a single release. If a specification was previously approved but not implemented (or not completely implemented), then the specification needs to be re-proposed by copying (not move) it to the right directory for the current release.

Previously approved specifications

The RefStack specs directory was re-structured during the Mitaka cycle. Therefore, the specs approved and implemented prior to the Mitaka cycle will be saved in the specs/prior/ directories.

Others

Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the status of the blueprints. For more information, see:

For more information about working with gerrit, see:

To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:
