#127034 resolved. openQA in an older version can be installed just fine from SLE+packagehub. So we can think about a test procedure to ensure that in the future, e.g. covering in openQA-in-openQA tests, extending existing SLE openQA tests on openqa.suse.de or similar.

I guess the next step for this ticket would be the same as #127541#note-15.

Not necessarily. IMHO the next distinct task is a testing approach. How about os-autoinst-distri-openQA on SLE15SP4+PackageHub within SLE maintenance tests?

So far it seems that the best approach is to reuse openqa tests from distri-opensuse (running distri-openQA on SLE hard drive would introduce a lot of code tweaks inside the distribution). The current bootstrap script does unfortunately not work right away so I am tweaking that. The installation seems to work (at least for 15-SP4, we are missing some packages for 15-SP5). Next step would be to create/adjust appropriate needles to pass the test.

- Related to action #130369: [spike][timeboxed:20h] Reduce duplication of openQA-in-openQA tests in os-autoinst-distri-opensuse and os-autoinst-distri-openQA size:S added

So it seems that it is possible to run openQA pretty nicely on SLE+PackageHub and devel:openQA (plus the Leap variant); it is also possible to run it completely without external repositories with just the versions from SLE+PackageHub with a minor drawback, it is not possible to run tests from os-autoinst-distri-openSUSE anymore as the version in 15-SP4 is too old and does not provide all test dependencies. We might want to switch to test something more lightweight instead (maybe #127622 can be reused here?).
I drafted https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/17216 with modifications needed to install the test. It somehow introduces more duplication as that overlaps with the repository version installation from os-autoinst-distri-openQA. I suggest to block this issue for now and wait for #130369 before continuing further.
@okurz, do you agree with that approach?

Well, it is actually good that we can show with an automated test that dependencies in "clean SLE+PackageHub" are too old so at best we can have both, tests with os-autoinst-distri-example as the lightweight "openQA works" test as well as a proof that os-autoinst-distri-opensuse can work after someone updated dependencies for the corresponding SLE version(s).

Yes, I agree. We can easily block on tickets we have in the backlog
