QA

Metadata for the bot-ng pipeline is taken from the base image (qam-ci-leap:latest).
The base image is located in https://build.suse.de/package/show/QA:Maintenance/openSUSE-Leap-Container and should be rebuilded whenever metadata package (qam-metadata-openqabot) change.
Metadata package is located in https://build.suse.de/package/show/QA:Maintenance/qam-metadata and is rebuilded by the CI after merge (like https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/metadata/-/jobs/1539286).

In theory, there should be no delay. Practically, it depends on the IBS build/publish time and Gitlab (docker executor) image cache.

Just for the record, this approach was chosen as preferred over zypper in qam-metadata-openqabot because of reliability issues with the state of the repository (and of course speed, it is not efficient to do zypper ref/in every 30 minutes in each pipeline run).

Additionaly, https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/bot-ng/-/jobs/1539447 already uses the new metadata package which was created like 80 minutes ago. It does not feel like a big delay to me.

I didn't know how often is the package build, I thought it's like once per day.
Only thing I think of is can't scheduler use github directly instead of waiting for IBS and package ?

It's build on every change in the corresponding metadata repository.

It would be Gitlab, assuming you mean metadata repository. Then every bot pipeline would need to clone the repository and basically duplicate all steps from the package build (running some python scripts and copying results to the corresponding paths for the bot, if I recall correctly).

It's doable, but a step in an opposite direction in my opinion.

Yes, building package is not required just having latest metadata.
It's fine if it stays as it is, I already know there is some delay, can be bigger if ibs is loaded.
Thank you.

All is solved but today is scheduler still using qam-metadata-openqabot-20230531-qam.5.2.noarch ...

Sure, that's the most recent version published. Newer version cannot be published, because someone broke the QA:Maintenance repository setup in IBS. That is another issue which I can try to fix.

I have seen the slack message, Thank you!

Just for the record, the issue is caused by some problem in OBS/IBS, the buildops team is aware of the issue and is working on it. There is currently nothing we can do.
