Create object oriented API for perl's YAML::XS module, with YAML 1.2 Support by tinita

Description

YAML::XS is a binding to libyaml and already quite old, but the most popular YAML module for perl. There are two main issues:

• It uses global package variables to influence behaviour.
• It didn't implement the loading of types like numbers and booleans according to the YAML spec (neither 1.1 nor 1.2).

Goals

Create a new interface which works object oriented. Currently YAML::XS exports a list of functions.

• The new API will allow to create a YAML::XS object containing configuration influencing the behaviour of loading and dumping.
  • It keeps the libyaml parser and emitter structs in memory, so repeated calls can save the creation of those structs
• It will by default implement the YAML 1.2 Core Schema, so it is compatible to other YAML processors in perl and in other languages
• If I have time, I would like to add the merge << key feature as an option. We could then use it in openQA as a replacement for YAML::PP to be faster.

I already created a proof of concept with a minimal functionality some weeks before this HackWeek.

Fix RSpec tests in order to replace the ruby-ldap rubygem in OBS by enavarro_suse

Description

"LDAP mode is not official supported by OBS!". See: config/options.yml.example#L100-L102

However, there is an RSpec file which tests LDAP mode in OBS. These tests use the ruby-ldap rubygem, mocking the results returned by a LDAP server.

The ruby-ldap rubygem seems no longer maintaned, and also prevents from updating to a more recent Ruby version. A good alternative is to replace it with the net-ldap rubygem.

Before replacing the ruby-ldap rubygem, we should modify the tests so the don't mock the responses of a LDAP server. Instead, we should modify the tests and run them against a real LDAP server.

Goals

Goals of this project:

• Modify the RSpec tests and run them against a real LDAP server
• Replace the net-ldap rubygem with the ruby-ldap rubygem

Achieving the above mentioned goals will:

• Permit upgrading OBS from Ruby 3.1 to Ruby 3.2
• Make a step towards officially supporting LDAP in OBS.

Resources

• Replace ruby-ldap rubygem with net-ldap

Research openqa-trigger-from-obs and openqa-trigger-from-ibs-plugin by qwang

Description

openqa-trigger-from-obs project is a framework that OSD is using it to automatically sync the defined images and repositories from OBS/IBS to its assets for testing. This framework very likely will be used for the synchronize to each location's openqa include openqa.qa2.suse.asia Beijing local procy scc scc-proxy.suse.asia(although it's not a MUST to our testing) it's now rewriting requests to openqa.qa2.suse.asia instead of openqa.suse.de, the assets/repo should be consistent the format Beijing local openQA is maintaining an own script but still need many manually activities when new build comes, and not consistent to OSD, that will request many test code change due to CC network change

Goals

Research this framework in case it will be re-used for Beijing local openQA, and will need to be setup and maintained by ourselves

obs-service-vendor_node_modules by cdimonaco

Description

When building a javascript package for obs, one option is to use https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-node_modules as source service to get the project npm dependencies available for package bulding.

obs-service-vendornodemodules aims to be a source service that vendors npm dependencies, installing them with npm install (optionally only production ones) and then creating a tar package of the installed dependencies.

The tar will be used as source in the package building definitions.

Goals

• Create an obs service package that vendors the npm dependencies as tar archive.
• Maybe add some macros to unpack the vendor package in the specfiles

Learn obs/ibs sync tool by xlai

Description

Once images/repo are built from IBS/OBS, there is a tool to sync the image from IBS/OBS to openqa asset directory and trigger openqa jobs accordingly.

Goals

Check how the tool is implemented, and be capable to add/modify our needed images/repo in future by ourselves.

Learn about OSB and contribute to `kustomize` and `k9s` packages to add ARM arch by dpock

Description

There are already k9s and kustomize packages that exist for openSUSE today. These could be used as the source for these binaries in our rancher projects. By using them we would benefit from CVE fixes included in our distribution of the packages not in cluded upstream. However they are not providing arm package builds which are required.

Goals

• [ ] Update the kustomize package in OBS to use the newest version and send change request

Resources

• k9s: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/k9s
• kustomize: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/kustomize
• Learning Docs: https://confluence.suse.com/display/packaging/Training%2C+Talks+and+Videos
