+# releng-scripts
+This is an AGL job generation tool for [LAVA](https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/).\
+It is written in Python and uses jinja2 templates to generate yaml job files
+following the LAVA specifications.
+
+This tool **only** generates jobs. It does not provide a way for submitting jobs to a LAVA server.\
+Please refer to the lava-tool [documentation](https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/lava-tool.html)
+for submitting jobs.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Python >= 2.7.1
+
+## Usage instructions
+The tool for generating job is located in the ./utils folder, it is named "create-jobs.py".
+
+### create-jobs.py
+
+Command line tool to generate AGL jobs for LAVA.
+
+##### Required arguments:
+- Machine name
+
+##### Artifacts fetching from URL:
+The tool will create an URL to fetch the build artifacts as follows: "URL_BASE/MACHINE_NAME".
+
+Optionnal extra parameters can be used to extend the URL_BASE: `--jobid` and `--jobidx`.
+The fetching URL will then be constructed like this: "URL_BASE/JOB_ID/JOB_INDEX/MACHINE_NAME"
+
+
+The default URL_BASE is the AGL CI build repo.\
+The job id and index parameters sould be passed to create a valid fetching URL from this repo.\
+If using another URL these parameters can be omitted.
+
+##### Example:
+From default URL (https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/upload/ci/):\
+`$ ./utils/create-jobs.py raspberrypi3 --jobid 10763 --jobidx 3`\
+From other URLs:\
+`$ ./utils/create-jobs.py raspberrypi3 --urlbase http://www.baylibre.com/pub/agl/ci/`\
+`$ ./utils/create-jobs.py raspberrypi3 --urlbase https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/snapshots/master/latest/raspberrypi3/deploy/images/`\
+`$ ./utils/create-jobs.py raspberrypi3 --urlbase https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/dab/4.0.0/raspberrypi3/deploy/images/`
+
+The full list of arguments with default values is available using the helper:\
+`$ ./utils/create-jobs.py --help`
