Investigate possibilities for the distributed builds for Ceph to speed up builds.
This task could have 2 scopes.
replace build and
vstart
for developers to run in containers for any target base (openSUSE, Ubuntu and etc)distribute build jobs across nodes, probably on k8s cluster
There are some projects already to distribute the build:
As the first step maybe get to know already existent system and how much they speed up the build to have a reference point.
Idea is to build container (and reuse it later) with all dependencies (./install-deps.sh
on some base for devs, or chroot
before build phase for osc/obs) and start number of build jobs on k8s cluster (or podman
if local dev env).
That could help: * developers to build, test their changes on any dist base, locally or on k8s * speed up builds for IBS/OBS to distribute build on k8s cluster
For dev environment buildah
could be used to get base OS and actually run ./install-deps.sh
and get current base for the build.
For osc/isc, that tool already prepares chroot
, so that might be consumed as container base.
Some tool needs to be used/developed to generate k8s manifests to run build based on that container, run those manifests locally with podman play kube
or remotely scheduling those manifest on k8s cluster and some how gather the results from the jobs and store resulted binaries/rpms/containers somewhere to run/store them.

Roman, can the following kernel patch also speedup our ceph builds? Seems worth to try

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.

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

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 theruby-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.

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
