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 about OSB and contribute to `kustomize` and `k9s` packages to add ARM arch by dpock

Description

There are already k9s and kustomize packages that exist for openSUSE today. These could be used as the source for these binaries in our rancher projects. By using them we would benefit from CVE fixes included in our distribution of the packages not in cluded upstream. However they are not providing arm package builds which are required.

Goals

• [ ] Update the kustomize package in OBS to use the newest version and send change request

Resources

• k9s: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/k9s
• kustomize: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/kustomize

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

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.

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

Resources

• https://github.com/suse-edge/obs-tools/tree/main/obs-client
• https://api.opensuse.org/apidocs/

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.

Make more sense of openQA test results using AI by livdywan

Description

AI has the potential to help with something many of us spend a lot of time doing which is making sense of openQA logs when a job fails.

User Story

Allison Average has a puzzled look on their face while staring at log files that seem to make little sense. Is this a known issue, something completely new or maybe related to infrastructure changes?

Goals

• Leverage a chat interface to help Allison
• Create a model from scratch based on data from openQA
• Proof of concept for automated analysis of openQA test results

Bonus

• Use AI to suggest solutions to merge conflicts
  • This would need a merge conflict editor that can suggest solving the conflict
• Use image recognition for needles

Resources

• TensorFlow
• open-webui
• openQA instance of openSUSE
• openQA documentation

Timeline

Day 1

• Conversing with open-webui to teach me how to create a model based on openQA test results
  • Asking for example code using TensorFlow in Python
  • Discussing log files to explore what to analyze
  • Drafting a new project called Testimony (based on Implementing a containerized Python action) - the project name was also suggested by the assistant

Day 2

• Using NotebookLLM (Gemini) to produce conversational versions of blog posts
  • Writing openQA tests in Python
  • Developing in distrobox containers
• Researching the possibility of creating a project logo with AI
  • Asking open-webui, persons with prior experience and conducting a web search for advice

Highlights

• I briefly tested compared models to see if they would make me more productive. Between llama, gemma and mistral there was no amazing difference in the results for my case.
• Convincing the chat interface to produce code specific to my use case required very explicit instructions.
• Asking for advice on how to use open-webui itself better was frustratingly unfruitful both in trivial and more advanced regards.
• Documentation on source materials used by LLM's and tools for this purpose seems virtually non-existent - specifically if a logo can be generated based on particular licenses

Outcomes

• Chat interface-supported development is providing good starting points and open-webui being open source is more flexible than Gemini. Although currently some fancy features such as grounding and generated podcasts are missing.
• Allison still has to be very experienced with openQA to use a chat interface for test review. Publicly available system prompts would make that easier, though.

Enhance UV openQA helper script by mdonis

Description

A couple months ago an UV openQA helper script was created to help/automate the searching phase inside openQA for a given MU to test. The script searches inside all our openQA job groups (qam-sle) related with a given MU and generates an output suitable to add (copy & paste) inside the update log.

This is still a WIP and could use some enhancements.

Goals

• Move script from bash to python: this would be useful in case we want to include this into MTUI in the future. The script will be separate from MTUI for now. The idea is to have this as a CLI tool using the click library or something similar.
• Add option to look for jobs in other sections inside aggregated updates: right now, when looking for regression tests under aggregated updates for a given MU, the script only looks inside the Core MU job group. This is where most of the regression tests we need are located, but some MUs have their regression tests under the YaST/Containers/Security MU job groups. We should keep the Core MU group as a default, but add an option to be able to look into other job groups under aggregated updates.
• Remove the -a option: this option is used to indicate the update ID and is mandatory right now. This is a bit weird and goes against posix stardards. It was developed this way in order to avoid using positional parameters. This problem should be fixed if we move the script to python.

Some other ideas to consider:

• Look into the QAM dashboard API. This has more info on each MU, could use this to link general openQA build results, whether the related RR is approved or not, etc
• Make it easier to see if there's regression tests for a package in an openQA test build. Check if there's a possibility to search for tests that have the package name in them inside each testsuite.
• Unit testing?

More ideas TBD

Post-Hackweek update

All major features were implemented. Unit tests are still in progress, and project will be moved to the SUSE github org once everything's done. https://github.com/mjdonis/oqa-search

OpenQA Golang api client by hilchev

Description

I would like to make a simple cli tool to communicate with the OpenQA API

Goals

• OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
• Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.
• Improve my Golang skills
