Thank you very much.

Hi,

So, first of all you want to read this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Standards_for_documenting_CSI_variables and maybe this https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/security-policy/en-US/html/

Then you'll need to clone the ansible repository if you haven't done it so far:

git clone batcave01.phx2.fedoraproject.org:/git/ansible

* Note that you need to proxy through bastion to reach batcave01. If you did not get set up yet you want to read https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/sshaccess.rst

It would also be nice to check ansible documentation (in case you are not familiar with it) to start getting comfortable with the repository and to actually understand what group variables are. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks.html

Right now I am trying to figure out if I can write something to extract the relationships variable from the code. I meantioned it during the meeting and this is what akikidouke told me:

15:38 < aikidouke> walk through each of the tasks for one particular service - see what it depends on 15:39 < aikidouke> grep through everything else to see what depends on the service/host you are looking at

Extracting the csi_security_category may be tricky and we'll probably want to discuss them whenever submiting patches. For reference, check this: https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/security-policy/en-US/html-sing...

That should be all to start setting the csi variables. I am cc'ing the mailing list here since I believe this information could be valuable to other apprentices as well. Also -> https://darkmattermatters.com/2009/07/16/red-hat-culture-tip-default-to-open...
