This is used by [0] to assess if needed system packages are installed. It should allow easier installation of Python packages on a clean system from source and help packagers too. For now it is just a copy/merge of files with added platform specifiers. Packages have been tagged with certain bindep profiles: - test - needed to compile Python dependencies and for other tox targets, profile of this name is used by various gate jobs - imagebuild - only needed to build various types of deploy ramdisk Note that DevStack install procedure currently does not use 'bindep', and still relies on files in folder.

ironic-python-agent
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk
For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
