* tox.ini: The LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ALL environment overrides were introduced originally during the testr migration in an attempt to be conservative about the possibility that locale settings in the calling environment could cause consistency problems for test runs. In actuality, this should be unnecessary and any place where it does cause issues ought to be considered an actual bug. Also, having these in the configuration actively causes older pip to have problems with non-ASCII content in some package metadata files under Python 3, so drop it now.

Image Service API
This repository contains the RESTful API information for the OpenStack Image Service, also known as Glance. The Glance project provides services for discovering, registering, and retrieving virtual machine images. The Image Service has a RESTful API that allows querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.
VM images made available through Glance can be stored in a variety of locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems like the OpenStack Swift project.
Prerequisites
Apache Maven 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 API is in the openstack-image-service-api
directory.
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-image-service-api
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is:
openstack-image-service-api/target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-image-service/1.1/os-image-service-devguide-1.1.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is:
openstack-image-service-api//target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-image-service/1.1/content/index.html
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 teststox -e checksyntax
- to run syntax checkstox -e checkdeletions
- to check that no deleted files are referencedtox -e checkbuild
- to actually build the manual
tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the build check.
