Motivation¶

The action [#126857] made a proof of concept for automating the ALP installation by using the dinst.auto boot parameter, that soon will be renamed to agama.auto.
To avoid the hassle of providing the file for download on the worker in this PoC the parameter just points to a branch on GitHub, but that is not the final destination. We should create a parameter handler similar to prepare_profile in autoyast scenarios. That means read a openQA setting that we need to specify, e.g. AGAMA_AUTO and process the file so that we create a temporary upload on the worker and submit this path as the agama.auto parameter to the bootloader.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: New openQA setting AGAMA_AUTO is defined.
• AC2: Library modules are adapted to provide routines to upload the config file and provide a temporary URL.
• AC3: Bootloader modules are able to handle the agama.auto parameter similar to handling the autoyast boot parameter
• AC4: A testmodule is created that comes before the bootloader and prepares the agama.auto profile for the worker.

Additional information¶

Do not mix AutoYaST logic and libraries with this new development, just mimic what is there.
