Motivation¶

We need to tag individual modules (e.g. LTP tests) within a job. Presently we (kernel qa) do this within job comments using syntax like "test123: bug#123". This requires parsing job comments.

Other teams have different solutions, like parsing external YAML files and marking individual modules as soft-failed.

Providing a single structured data source in OpenQA will simplify reporting and bug tag propagation.

Goal¶

Provide simple interface through OpenQA to:

• assign a bug to a job module
• query the bug assigned to a job module
• remove a bug from a job module

I think a single reference to one bug tracker is sufficient. Related items in other trackers can be handled by one external tracker (e.g. Redmine).

Non-Goals¶

• Propagate bugs from one build to the next
• Notifications or reporting

Alternatives¶

• External service and database (e.g https://gitlab.suse.de/kernel-qa/bugtags)
