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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-5.0.0-0.20160929150845.4cdc4fc.el7ost.noarch
Upstream patches landed, we just need a build that contains them: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/I5c6e22fe9516c4e2dad4495127d923f971c32f5d,n,z
