INFO.yaml Guidelines

THIS PAGE is no up to date. Committer changes in INFO.yaml are now done via normal review and majority vote in that review.

The INFO.yaml file provides information to the teams, or anyone else, on the team that owns the code.

In the INFO.yaml we can find specific information to the main PTL, committers with contact details,

meeting information and real time communication and list of repositories under the same control

The INFO.yaml also provides history of changes made to the group like addition and removal of

members with TSC approval references.

Every time there are changes to the team in general, the INFO.yaml must be kept updated by the tech team.

To find the matching committers group that own a specific Gerrit project:

Search for the project https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/ and click on the desired project.
Go to the "Access" tab in the project
Look for the "Owner" information

For example:

An example for a child repo:

We need to know the correct group name that owns aai-common repo
Search for the "aai-common" project in https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/
Go to the "Access" tab: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/aai/aai-common,access
Notice there is no "Owner" information which indicates is a project inheriting rights from another
In this case, Rights Inherit From: aai
Click on the link "aai" https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/aai,access
Find the "Owner": onap-gerrit-aai-committers

The INFO.yaml file must exist on every single Gerrit repo. Even if the Gerrit repo is sharing permissions from a parent repo.

When a new repo project is created, the INFO.yaml file should be added as a first commit.

The INFO.yaml is a tech team responsibility and LF Releng can always be added as reviewers to comment on the file.

Tech teams should submit a TSC voting copying Jim Baker with the requested details (addition or removal of committers).
wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Resources+and+Repositories Needs to be updated too with the approved information.
Tech teams need to modify the INFO.yaml (or add a new one if it does not exist).
Tech teams need to submit a request to helpdesk@onap.org with the Gerrit links of the INFO.yaml
LF will proceed with making the changes in LDAP

Only LF has permissions to view the actual LDAP groups. The teach teams can request this information to LF Releng members any time.

There is no automation behind updating INFO.yaml and the actual LDAP group. The changes still need to be performed by LF Releng to

match what the INFO.yaml file describes.

It is very important for tech teams to notify LF Releng whenever changes have been done to their project's INFO.yaml file.

Tips on finding the right timezones

Timezones are tricky, we recommend using https://time.is to search for the proper timezone information to a particular region.

For example: https://time.is/Beijing (The IANA time zone identifier for Beijing is Asia/Shanghai)

Global-jjb provides a verify job specific for INFO.yaml files:

Is a responsibility of the tech teams to add this verify job for their INFO.yaml files.

For example:

Adding the ci-management job entry:

Will create the Jenkins job:
