Bootstrap openSUSE on LoongArch

Description

LoongArch is a new architecture from China which has its roots in the MIPS architecture. It has been created by Loongson and is already supported by Debian Ports, Gentoo and Loongnix.

Upstream support for LoongArch is already quite complete which includes LLVM, Rust, Golang, GRUB, QEMU, LibreOffice and many more. In Debian Ports, where the port is called "loong64", more than 95% of the whole Debian archive have been successfully built for LoongArch.

QEMU support is rather complete and stable such that packages can be built in emulated environments. Hardware can also be requested by Loongson on request for free. Access to real hardware is also provided through the GCC Compile Farm.

Goals

The initial goal should be to add LoongArch to OBS and build a minimal set of packages.

      FWIW debugedit (used in producing debuginfo packages) version 5.1 has loongarch support.

    Git CI to automate the creation of product definition by gyribeiro

    Description

    Automate the creation of product definition

    Goals

    Create a Git CI that will:

    • automatically be triggered once a change (commit) in package list is done.
    • run tool responsible to update product definition based on the changes in package list
    • test the updated product definition in OBS
    • submit a pull request updating the product definition in the repository

    NOTE: this Git CI may also be triggered manually

    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.

    Switch software-o-o to parse repomd data by hennevogel

    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.
