The requirements.txt and requirements_ansible.txt files are generated from requirements.in and requirements_ansible.in, respectively, using pip-tools pip-compile.

Run ./updater.sh command from inside ./requirements directory of the awx repository.

Make sure you have patch, awk, python3, python2, python3-venv, python2-virtualenv, pip2, pip3 installed.

If you are using the development container image, you need to run dnf install libpq-devel libcurl-devel. These packages are only installed temporarily in the Dockerfile.

This script will:

• Update requirements.txt based on requirements.in
• Update/generate requirements_ansible.txt based on requirements_ansible.in
  • including an automated patch that adds python_version < "3" for Python 2 backward compatibility
• Removes the docutils dependency line from requirements.txt and requirements_ansible.txt

You can also upgrade (pip-compile --upgrade) the dependencies by running ./updater.sh upgrade.

Licenses and Source Files

If any library has a change to its license with the upgrade, then the license for that library inside of docs/licenses needs to be updated.

For libraries that have source distribution requirements (LGPL as an example), a tarball of the library is kept along with the license. To download the PyPI tarball, you can run this command:

pip download <pypi library name> -d docs/licenses/ --no-binary :all: --no-deps

Make sure to delete the old tarball if it is an upgrade.
