==================================
OpenStack Cinder Specifications
==================================

This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions
to the Cinder 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 repository is::

  specs/<release>/

You can find an example spec in `specs/template.rst`.

Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the
`specs/<release>` directory and posting it for review.  The implementation
status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the
blueprint in launchpad.  Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.

**Previously approved specifications must be re-proposed for a new release.**
The review will most likely be quick, but we need to make sure that everyone
still understands the spec as written, and that it still fits in with the
project's plans.

Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec
reviews.  Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad
blueprints::

  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder

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

  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints

For more information about working with gerrit, see::

  https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow

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

  $ tox

After running ``tox``, the documentation will be available for viewing in HTML
format in the ``doc/build/`` directory. Please do not checkin the generated
HTML files as a part of your commit.
