Update to match latest template details #6

Closed ross closed 2 years ago

ross commented 2 years ago

No meaningful changes, just template sourced updates.

It would be nice to have an automatic way to update all providers whenever the template changes.

It would be nice to have an automatic way to update all providers whenever the template changes.

I have a helper script that I'm using here called look-for-changes that essentially generates a new skeletal provider with all the original parameters and then diffs them. It still ends up being a bit of manual work to go through and make the specific changes, but atm I'm not seeing a way to fully automate it as there are enough changes after the original generation that it may be flakey. Some of the bits in the template are TODO/placeholder which is the real problem.

I plan to commit the helper script as-is to octodns-template once this pass it done (its test.)

I may play around with trying to turn the current diff bit into a patch and applying it, but atm it'll run into problems with the TODOs/placeholder bits and files like requirements.txt which are minimal in the template. No clue if that'll work out or not.

@ross you might want to have a look into https://github.com/solvaholic/template / https://github.com/solvahol/dns and the mechanisms used there to get a template repo in sync. Just stumbled upon it recently, see https://github.com/solvaholic/octodns-sync/issues/86. Disclaimer: I did not yet try it out myself and can't tell if the solution is feasible at all. Just some food for thought.

@istr interesting I just noticed the "generated from" badge, I was not aware of native repo templating in Github. May be something we could use for all octodns-* provider repos.
