Ian Wienand 882b730fdf Update to openstackdocstheme
This modernises the openstack-infra documentation by switching to
openstackdocstheme.  Update dependencies as required.

To remove non-relevant stuff from conf.py, I have just taken the demo
file from openstackdocstheme and lightly modified it.

It seems later sphinx has included it's own ":file:" role which now
conflicts.  Change it it ":cgit_file:" in our documentation.  Remove
the custom header template which no longer applies.  Add the
post-2.0-pbr sphinx-based warning-as-error, which fixes the original
problem that I actually noticed that errors could slip through the
gate tests :)

Paste

Paste

Paste servers are an easy way to share long-form content such as configuration files or log data with others over short-form communication protocols such as IRC. OpenStack runs the "lodgeit" paste software.

Overview

For OpenStack we use a fork of lodgeit which is based on one with bugfixes maintained by dcolish but adds back missing anti-spam features required by OpenStack.

Puppet configures lodgeit to use drizzle as a database backend, apache as a front-end proxy.

The lodgeit module will automatically create a git repository in /var/backups/lodgeit_db. Inside this every site will have its own SQL file, for example "openstack" will have a file called openstack.sql. Every day a cron job will update the SQL file (one job per file) and commit it to the git repository.

Note

Ideally the SQL files would have a row on every line to keep the diffs stored in git small, but drizzledump does not yet support this.
