SUSE Manager uses an ivy repository on the R&D network to get the packaged jar to build against. To remove the manual maintenance of that repository and allow external contributors to hack the Java code of Uyuni / SUSE Manager we need to provide an Ivy plugin that gets the jars directly from OBS.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil

Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)

The idea is testing Salt (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients

To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
Package management (install, remove, update...)
Patching
Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
Salt remote commands
Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

Uyuni read-only replica by cbosdonnat

Description

For now, there is no possible HA setup for Uyuni. The idea is to explore setting up a read-only shadow instance of an Uyuni and make it as useful as possible.

Possible things to look at:

live sync of the database, probably using the WAL. Some of the tables may have to be skipped or some features disabled on the RO instance (taskomatic, PXT sessions…)
Can we use a load balancer that routes read-only queries to either instance and the other to the RW one? For example, packages or PXE data can be served by both, the API GET requests too. The rest would be RW.

Goals

Prepare a document explaining how to do it.
PR with the needed code changes to support it

Uyuni Saltboot rework by oholecek

Description

When Uyuni switched over to the containerized proxies we had to abandon salt based saltboot infrastructure we had before. Uyuni already had integration with a Cobbler provisioning server and saltboot infra was re-implemented on top of this Cobbler integration.

What was not obvious from the start was that Cobbler, having all it's features, woefully slow when dealing with saltboot size environments. We did some improvements in performance, introduced transactions, and generally tried to make this setup usable. However the underlying slowness remained.

Goals

This project is not something trying to invent new things, it is just finally implementing saltboot infrastructure directly with the Uyuni server core.

Instead of generating grub and pxelinux configurations by Cobbler for all thousands of systems and branches, we will provide a GET access point to retrieve grub or pxelinux file during the boot:

/saltboot/group/grub/$fqdn and similar for systems /saltboot/system/grub/$mac

Next we adapt our tftpd translator to query these points when asked for default or mac based config.

Lastly similar thing needs to be done on our apache server when HTTP UEFI boot is used.

Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright + AI by oscar-barrios

Description

This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.

Nah, let's be honest AI helped a lot to vibe code a good part of the Ruby methods of the Test framework, moving them to Typescript, along with the migration from Capybara to Playwright. I've been using "Cline" as plugin for WebStorm IDE, using Gemini API behind it.

Goals

Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakiness.
Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS

Enhance setup wizard for Uyuni by PSuarezHernandez

Description

This project wants to enhance the intial setup on Uyuni after its installation, so it's easier for a user to start using with it.

Uyuni currently uses "uyuni-tools" (mgradm) as the installation entrypoint, to trigger the installation of Uyuni in the given host, but does not really perform an initial setup, for instance:

user creation
adding products / channels
generating bootstrap repos
create activation keys
...

Goals

Provide initial setup wizard as part of mgradm uyuni installation

Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl

There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).

Switch software-o-o to store repomd in a database by hennevogel

Description

The openSUSE Software portal is a web app to explore binary packages of openSUSE distributions. Kind of like an package manager / app store.

https://software.opensuse.org/

This app has been around forever (August 2007) and it's architecture is a bit brittle. It acts as a frontend to the OBS distributions and published binary search APIs, calculates and caches a lot of stuff in memory and needs code changes nearly every openSUSE release to keep up.

As you can imagine, it's a heavy user of the OBS API, especially when caches are cold.

Goals

I want to change the app to cache repomod data in a (postgres) database structure

Distributions have many Repositories
Repositories have many Packages
Packages have many Patches

The UI workflows will be as following

As an admin I setup Distribution and it's repositories
As an admin I sync all repositories repomd files into to the database
As a user I browse a Distribution by category
As a user I search for Package of a Distribution in it's Repositories
As a user I extend the search to Package build on OBS for this Distribution

This has a couple of pro's:

Less traffic on the OBS API as the usual Packages are inside the database
Easier base to add features to this page. Like comments, ratings, openSUSE specific screenshots etc.
Separating the Distribution package search from searching through OBS will hopefully make more clear for newbies that enabling extra repositories is kind of dangerous.

And one con:

You can't search for packages build for foreign distributions with this app anymore (although we could consume their repomd etc. but I doubt we have the audience on an opensuse.org domain...)

TODO

Introduce a PG database
Add clockworkd as scheduler and delayed_job as ActiveJob backend
Introduce ActiveStorage
Build initial data model
Introduce repomd to database sync
- Adapt repomd sync to Leap 16.0 repomod layout changes (single arch, no update repo)
- Make repomd sync idempotent
Introduce database search
Setup foreman to run rails s and rake jobs:workoff
Adapt UI
- Build Category Browsing
- Build Admin Distribution CRUD interface

Create a page with all devel:languages:perl packages and their versions by tinita

Description

Perl projects now live in git: https://src.opensuse.org/perl

It would be useful to have an easy way to check which version of which perl module is in devel:languages:perl. Also we have meta overrides and patches for various modules, and it would be good to have them at a central place, so it is easier to lookup, and we can share with other vendors.

I did some initial data dump here a while ago: https://github.com/perlpunk/cpan-meta

But I never had the time to automate this.

I can also use the data to check if there are necessary updates (currently it uses data from download.opensuse.org, so there is some delay and it depends on building).

Goals

Have a script that updates a central repository (e.g. https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_metadata) with metadata by looking at https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj (check if there are any changes from the last run)
Create a HTML page with the list of packages (use Javascript and some table library to make it easily searchable)

Resources

Results

Day 1

First part of the code which retrieves data from https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj with submodules and creates a YAML and a JSON file.
Repo: https://github.com/perlpunk/opensuse-perl-meta
Also a first version of the HTML is live: https://perlpunk.github.io/opensuse-perl-meta/

Day 2

HTML Page has now links to src.opensuse.org and the date of the last update, plus a short info at the top
Code is now 100% covered by tests: https://app.codecov.io/gh/perlpunk/opensuse-perl-meta
I used the modern perl class feature, which makes perl classes even nicer and shorter. See example
Tests
- I tried out the mocking feature of the modern Test2::V0 library which provides call tracking. See example
- I tried out comparing data structures with the new Test2::V0 library. It let's you compare parts of the structure with the like function, which only compares the date that is mentioned in the expected data. example

Day 3

Added various things to the table
- Dependencies column
- Show popup with info for cpanspec, patches and dependencies
- Added last date / commit to the data export.

Plan: With the added date / commit we can now daily check _ObsPrj for changes and only fetch the data for changed packages.

Day 4
