Description

Motivation

As part of #138029 support for git caching was included in os-autoinst. We already have some special handling for CACHE directories so that people cloning without knowing about GIT_CACHE_DIR are not confronted with errors.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Cloning jobs to a local openQA instance when jobs have GIT_CACHE_DIR set to a directory that does not exist locally works without errors

Acceptance tests

  • AT1-1: Given an openQA job on o3 with GIT_CACHE_DIR set When cloning that to a local instance And the specified GIT_CACHE_DIR does not exist locally And there is no locally specified GIT_CACHE_DIR Then no git caching is done And no error is given
  • AT1-2: Given an openQA job on o3 with GIT_CACHE_DIR set When cloning that to a local instance And the specified GIT_CACHE_DIR does not exist locally And there is a locally specified GIT_CACHE_DIR Then git caching is done into the locally specified GIT_CACHE_DIR

Suggestions

  • See what had been done in #154156
  • Lookup in our cloning tools and worker code how we handle cache directories
  • Add according handling for GIT_CACHE_DIR so that usual use cases for cloning to other openQA instances are handled
  • Set a local GIT_CACHE_DIR, and cross-check without it set and see what happens

Out of scope

And security considerations as we have apparmor and directory permissions for that
