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

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

Currently software.opensuse.org search is using the OBS binary search for everything, even for packages inside the openSUSE distributions. Let's switch this to use repomd data from download.opensuse.org

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.

Bootstrap openSUSE on LoongArch by glaubitz

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.

Resources

• Introduction to LoongArch: https://docs.kernel.org/arch/loongarch/introduction.html
• LoongArch community on Github: https://github.com/loongarchlinux
• Debian Ports repository for loong64: http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-loong64/main/
• Gentoo stage3 for loong: https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#loong

Results

• An initial set of packages for openSUSE loongarch64 has been successfully bootstrapped
• An OBS project has been set up to build packages for openSUSE loongarch64 with more than 3000 packages being built already
• A work-in-progress guide on how to bootstrap a new openSUSE port from Debian has been created
• A work-in-progress guide on how to add a new target to the openSUSE toolchain has been created

Acknowledgements

• Thanks to Adrian Schröter and Rüdiger Oertl for the help with setting up the FTP space and OBS project
• Thanks to Dirk Müller for the input on how to get started with a new port
• Thanks to Richard Biener for quickly accepting my submit requests to add loongarch64 support to the toolchain

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
