-- job:
-    name: opendev-intermediate-registry-base
-    description: |
-      A base job that runs "pull-from-intermediate-registry" to
-      populate the current buildset registry with container artifacts
-      from the Opendev intermediate-registry.
-
-      Use this in jobs that want to speculatively test (i.e. use
-      Depends-On:) containers from other projects that publish to the
-      Opendev intermediate registry.
-
-      For example, project `moo` builds a container image.  It should:
-
-        * specify `provides: moo-container-image` for it's container
-          build job
-        * ensure it pre-runs the opendev-buildset-registry job
-        * use the opendev-build-docker-image jobs below to produce the
-          container
-
-      Changes to `moo` will then push their container images to the
-      Opendev intermediate registry and provide an artifact in their
-      job result.
-
-      If project `foo` then has a job that wishes to speculatively
-      test (via Depend-On:) the `moo` change by using the container it
-      has built, it should:
-
-        * add `requires: moo-container-image`
-        * pre-run opendev-buildset-registry
-        * parent itself to this job.
-
-      This will pull the `moo` container produced by the dependent
-      change from the intermediate archive into the running buildset
-      registry for deployment and testing.
-    pre-run: playbooks/docker-image/pre.yaml
