Promulgation pattern for the ~charmers team and folks helping to managing the default flat namespace of Juju charms.
Setup (first time only)
snap install bhttp
Copy this helper into your .bash_aliases file.
unset -f promulgate
function promulgate() {
charm_id=${1#cs:}
promulgated=${2:-true}
bhttp put -j https://api.jujucharms.com/charmstore/v5/$charm_id/promulgate Promulgated:=$promulgated
}
Promulgating a Charm
First, make sure there isn’t already something promulgated into the namespace with:
charm show cs:<charm>
If there is, you’ll need to unpromulgate it first (assuming it’s ok to transfer maintainership).
Then, confirm that the charm to be promulgated is readable by everyone and promoted to stable with:
charm show cs:~<namespace>/<charm>
If everything looks good
promulgate cs:~<namespace>/<charm>
The charm author isn’t granted update permissions by default, so you have to then do:
charm grant cs:<charm> --acl write <user>
Unpromulgation
This must be careful as this breaks existing bundles/urls for folks using this charm in any fashion.
promulgate cs:<charm> false
