The INFO.yaml file provides information to the teams, or anyone else, on the team that owns the code.
In the INFO.yaml we can find specific information to the main PTL, committers with contact details,
meeting information and real time communication and list of repositories under the same control
The INFO.yaml also provides history of changes made to the group like addition and removal of
members with TSC approval references.
Every time there are changes to the team in general, the INFO.yaml must be kept updated by the tech team.
To find the matching committers group that own a specific Gerrit project:
For example:
An example for a child repo:
The INFO.yaml file must exist on every single Gerrit repo. Even if the Gerrit repo is sharing permissions from a parent repo.
When a new repo project is created, the INFO.yaml file should be added as a first commit.
The INFO.yaml is a tech team responsibility and LF Releng can always be added as reviewers to comment on the file.
Only LF has permissions to view the actual LDAP groups. The teach teams can request this information to LF Releng members any time.
There is no automation behind updating INFO.yaml and the actual LDAP group. The changes still need to be performed by LF Releng to
match what the INFO.yaml file describes.
It is very important for tech teams to notify LF Releng whenever changes have been done to their project's INFO.yaml file.
Tips on finding the right timezones
Timezones are tricky, we recommend using https://time.is to search for the proper timezone information to a particular region.
For example: https://time.is/Beijing (The IANA time zone identifier for Beijing is Asia/Shanghai)
Global-jjb provides a verify job specific for INFO.yaml files:
https://github.com/lfit/releng-global-jjb/blob/master/jjb/lf-ci-jobs.yaml#L1136
Is a responsibility of the tech teams to add this verify job for their INFO.yaml files.
For example:
Adding the ci-management job entry:
https://github.com/onap/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/sdc/sdc-sdc-pubsub.yaml#L3
Will create the Jenkins job:
https://jenkins.onap.org/job/sdc-sdc-pubsub-info-yaml-verify/
