The INFO.yaml file provides information for anyone that is interested in the repository. In the INFO.yaml contains specific information to the main PTL, committers with contact details, meeting information and real time communication and list of repositories under the same control. The INFO.yaml also provides history of changes made to the group like addition and removal of members with TSC approval references depending on the project rules.
An INFO.yaml file must exist on every single Gerrit repo. Even if the a repo has identical permissions to its parent repo.
Inheritance is not supported for ONAP LDAP groups; there is a 1:1 ratio of LDAP groups mapped to repos.
Committer access in LDAP is auto-provisioned after the code is merged
The Jenkins job will also send a notification of the Committer promotion to the TSC list for visibility
Global-jjb provides a verify job specific for INFO.yaml files. It is the responsibility of the community to add this verify job for their INFO.yaml files.
https://github.com/lfit/releng-global-jjb/blob/master/jjb/lf-ci-jobs.yaml#L1136
For example:
Adding the ci-management job entry:
https://github.com/onap/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/sdc/sdc-sdc-pubsub.yaml#L3
Will create the Jenkins job:
https://jenkins.onap.org/job/sdc-sdc-pubsub-info-yaml-verify/

To find the matching committers group that own a specific Gerrit project:
For example:
Only LF has permissions to view the actual LDAP groups. The teach teams can request this information to LF Releng members any time.
Tips on finding the right timezones
Timezones are tricky, we recommend using https://time.is to search for the proper timezone information to a particular region. For example: https://time.is/Beijing (The IANA time zone identifier for Beijing is Asia/Shanghai)
