Refstack Specifications

This folder is used to hold design specifications for additions to the RefStack 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 folder is as follows:

specs/<release>/
specs/<release>/approved
specs/<release>/implemented

The lifecycle of a specification

Specifications are proposed by adding an .rst file to the specs/<release>/approved directory and posting it for review. You can find an example specification in /specs/template.rst.

Once a specification has been fully implemented, meaning a patch has landed, it will be moved to the implemented directory and the corresponding blueprint will be marked as complete.

Specifications are only approved for a single release. If a specification was previously approved but not implemented (or not completely implemented), then the specification needs to be re-proposed by copying (not move) it to the right directory for the current release.

Previously approved specifications

The RefStack specs directory was re-structured during the Mitaka cycle. Therefore, the specs approved and implemented prior to the Mitaka cycle will be saved in the specs/prior/ directories.

Others

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