Roger Luethi a17aa7c02a Add library of VirtualBox functions This changeset adds a library of functions for interacting with VirtualBox via VBoxManage. It contains functions for creating and booting VMs, taking snapshots, configuring disks, networking, and shared folders. In addition, its vm_attach_guestadd-iso can ask VirtualBox for the guest-additions ISO and, if that fails, look for it on the local filesystem or download the correct version from virtualbox.org. On Windows (wbatch), the function relies on VirtualBox providing the guest-additions ISO (which on that platform appears to be a safe bet).

OpenStack Training Guides

This repository contains open source training manuals that can be used to learn about the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the OpenStack Training Guides wiki page.

It includes these guides:

Associate Guide

Operator Guide

Developer Guide

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 different guides are in subdirectories of the openstack-training-guides/doc/ directory.

To build the guides, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides/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 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 for execution of these tests.

Contributing

Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing, and encourages you to join the OpenStack Foundation.

The best way to get involved with the community is to talk with others online or at a meet up and offer contributions through our processes, the OpenStack wiki, blogs, or on IRC at #openstack on irc.freenode.net.

We welcome all types of contributions, from blueprint designs to documentation to testing to deployment scripts.
