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

• https://perlpunk.github.io/opensuse-perl-meta/
• https://github.com/perlpunk/opensuse-perl-meta

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

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

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

Description

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).

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):

1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
2. 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)
3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
4. Patching
5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
6. Salt remote commands
7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
10. 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 :-)

In progress/done for Hack Week 25

Guide

We started writin a Guide: Adding a new client GNU Linux distribution to Uyuni at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Guide:-Adding-a-new-client-GNU-Linux-distribution-to-Uyuni, to make things easier for everyone, specially those not too familiar wht Uyuni or not technical.

openSUSE Leap 16.0

The distribution will all love!

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap#DRAFTScheduleforLeap16.0

Curent Status We started last year, it's complete now for Hack Week 25! :-D

• [W] Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file) NOTE: Done, client tools for SLMicro6 are using as those for SLE16.0/openSUSE Leap 16.0 are not available yet
• [W] 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)
• [W] Package management (install, remove, update...). Works, even reboot requirement detection

openQA log viewer by mpagot

Description

*** Warning: Are You at Risk for VOMIT? ***

Do you find yourself staring at a screen, your eyes glossing over as thousands of lines of text scroll by? Do you feel a wave of text-based nausea when someone asks you to "just check the logs"?

You may be suffering from VOMIT (Verbose Output Mental Irritation Toxicity).

This dangerous, work-induced ailment is triggered by exposure to an overwhelming quantity of log data, especially from parallel systems. The human brain, not designed to mentally process 12 simultaneous autoinst-log.txt files, enters a state of toxic shock. It rejects the "Verbose Output," making it impossible to find the one critical error line buried in a 50,000-line sea of "INFO: doing a thing."

Before you're forced to rm -rf /var/log in a fit of desperation, we present the digital antacid.

No panic: we have The openQA Log Visualizer

This is the UI antidote for handling toxic log environments. It bravely dives into the chaotic, multi-machine mess of your openQA test runs, finds all the related, verbose logs, and force-feeds them into a parser.

image

Goals

Work on the existing POC openqa-log-visualizer about few specific tasks:

• add support for more type of logs
• extend the configuration file syntax beyond the actual one
• work on log parsing performance

Find some beta-tester and collect feedback and ideas about features

If time allow for it evaluate other UI frameworks and solutions (something more simple to distribute and run, maybe more low level to gain in performance).

Bring up Agama based tests for openSUSE Tumbleweed by szarate

Description

Agama has been around for some time already, and we have some tests for it on Tumbleweed however they are only on the development job group and are too few to be helpful in assessing the quality of a build

This project aims at enabling and creating new testsuites for the agama flavor, using the already existsing DVD and NET flavors as starting points

Goals

• Introduce tests based on the Agama flavor in the main Tumbleweed job group
• Create Tumbleweed yaml schedules for agama installer and its own jsonette profile (The one being used now are reused from leap)
• Fan out tests that have long runtimes (i.e tackle this ticket)
• Reduce redundancy in tests

Resources

• Tumbleweed development job group:
• Tumbleweed main job group in git
• osado test repository:

openQA tests needles elaboration using AI image recognition by mdati

Description

In the openQA test framework, to identify the status of a target SUT image, a screenshots of GUI or CLI-terminal images, the needles framework scans the many pictures in its repository, having associated a given set of tags (strings), selecting specific smaller parts of each available image. For the needles management actually we need to keep stored many screenshots, variants of GUI and CLI-terminal images, eachone accompanied by a dedicated set of data references (json).

A smarter framework, using image recognition based on AI or other image elaborations tools, nowadays widely available, could improve the matching process and hopefully reduce time and errors, during the images verification and detection process.

Goals

Main scope of this idea is to match a "graphical" image of the console or GUI status of a running openQA test, an image of a shell console or application-GUI screenshot, using less time and resources and with less errors in data preparation and use, than the actual openQA needles framework; that is:

• having a given SUT (system under test) GUI or CLI-terminal screenshot, with a local distribution of pixels or text commands related to a running test status,
• we want to identify a desired target, e.g. a screen image status or data/commands context,
  • based on AI/ML-pretrained archives containing object or other proper elaboration tools,
  • possibly able to identify also object not present in the archive, i.e. by means of AI/ML mechanisms.
• the matching result should be then adapted to continue working in the openQA test, likewise and in place of the same result that would have been produced by the original openQA needles framework.
• We expect an improvement of the matching-time(less time), reliability of the expected result(less error) and simplification of archive maintenance in adding/removing objects(smaller DB and less actions).

Hackweek POC:

Main steps

• Phase 1 - Plan
  • study the available tools
  • prepare a plan for the process to build
• Phase 2 - Implement
  • write and build a draft application
• Phase 3 - Data
  • prepare the data archive from a subset of needles
  • initialize/pre-train the base archive
  • select a screenshot from the subset, removing/changing some part
• Phase 4 - Test
  • run the POC application
  • expect the image type is identified in a good %.

Resources

First step of this project is quite identification of useful resources for the scope; some possibilities are:

• SUSE AI and other ML tools (i.e. Tensorflow)
• Tools able to manage images
• RPA test tools (like i.e. Robot framework)
  
• other.
