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.

    Automation of ABI compatibility checks by ateixeira

    Description

    ABI compatibility checks could be further automated by using the OBS API to download built RPMs and using existing tools to analyze ABI compatibility between the libraries contained in those packages. This project aims to explore these possibilities and figure out a way to make ABI checks as painless and fast as possible for package maintainers.

    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.

    Implement a full OBS api client in Rust by nbelouin

    Description

    I recently started to work on tooling for OBS using rust, to do so I started a Rust create to interact with OBS API, I only implemented a few routes/resources for what I needed. What about making it a full fledged OBS client library.

    Goals

    • Implement more routes/resources
    • Implement a test suite against the actual OBS implementation
    • Bonus: Create an osc like cli in Rust using the library

    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

    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
