+Collect output from build pods
+
+This role can be used instead of the :zuul:role:`fetch-output` role when the
+synchronize module doesn't work with kubectl connection.
+
+This role requires the origin-client `oc` to be installed.
+
+**Role Variables**
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: zuul_output_dir
+   :default: {{ ansible_user_dir }}/zuul-output
+
+   Base directory for collecting job output.
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: openshift_pods
+   :default: {{ zuul.resources }}
+
+   The dictionary of pod name, pod information to copy the sources to.
+
+.. zuul:rolevar:: zuul_log_verbose
+   :default: false
+
+   The synchronize task in this role outputs a lot of information.  By
+   default, no_log is set to avoid overwhelming a reader of the logs.
+   Set this to true to disable that behavior if it becomes necessary
+   to debug this role.
