Description Marius Cornea 2016-10-05 08:30:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
There's a usability bug with tripleoclient when trying to use custom-roles, because the only way to modify the roles_data.yaml file is to copy the entire templates tree and upload that tree to the plan, e.g

cp -r /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/ tht
vim tht/roles_data.yaml
openstack overcloud deploy --templates tht

This works, but it's inconvenient for folks who want to treat the packaged templates as more of a "black box" vis maintaining (and rebasing) a local copy.

As an alternative, we should enable a similar flow to the -e interface for environments, e.g

openstack overcloud deploy --templates -r custom_roles_data.yaml

I guess a similar interface will be needed when overriding the roles in the default stored plan.

Upstream patches landed, we just need a build that contains them:
