Compute API
|
|
+++++++++++
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the RESTful API information for the OpenStack
|
|
Compute project, also known as Nova. The Nova project provides open
|
|
source cloud management and orchestration services.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later,and Debian wheezy and later::
|
|
|
|
apt-get install maven
|
|
|
|
On Fedora 15 and later::
|
|
|
|
yum install maven3
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The manuals are in the ``incubation``, ``openstack-compute-api-1.0``
|
|
and ``openstack-compute-api-2`` directories.
|
|
|
|
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
|
|
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
|
|
|
|
cd openstack-compute-api-2
|
|
mvn clean generate-sources
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing of changes and building of the manual
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
|
|
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
|
|
gating jobs.
|
|
|
|
If you like to run individual tests, run:
|
|
|
|
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
|
|
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
|
|
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
|
|
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
|
|
|
|
tox will use the `openstack-doc-tools package
|
|
<https://github.com/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_ for execution of
|
|
these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the
|
|
build check.

Contributing
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud
|
|
computing, and there are no formal membership requirements. The best
|
|
way to join the community is to talk with others online or at a meetup
|
|
and offer contributions through Launchpad, the OpenStack wiki, or
|
|
blogs. We welcome all types of contributions, from blueprint designs
|
|
to documentation to testing to deployment scripts.
|
|
|
|
