action #157612
closedcoordination #58184: [saga][epic][use case] full version control awareness within openQA
coordination #159573: [epic] Marketing/training/documentation about new version control features
Bump openQA version from 4.6.x to 5.x to be consistent with semver
Description
Motivation¶
We automatically update versions but it looks like we only deliver "patches" with versions like 4.6.177… . We don't have maintenance patches for older versions so to be compliant with https://semver.org/ we should bump to a new major version and automatically update minor versions, e.g. 5.….
Suggestions¶
- Update references to "4.6" in os-autoinst codebase
- Same as above for openQA
- Update https://build.opensuse.org/projects/devel:openQA/packages/os-autoinst/files/_service?expand=1
- Update https://build.opensuse.org/projects/devel:openQA/packages/openQA/files/_service?expand=1
- Ensure new versions 5.x are released as part of RPM packages for both os-autoinst+openQA properly
- Ensure there is no relevant impact on production operation
Further details¶
- Small caveat: Major versions should be bumped on non-backward compatible changes which we currently don't have and also we wouldn't guarantee major version upgrades on breaking changes but I think we are still better off.

I would like to link that version bump to the completion of the #58184 saga, in particular #152847, to show that the related new features are significant.

Hi everyone, as probably most of you know we have very frequent releases of os-autoinst+openQA. With every commit that is merged to the main git repository we build RPM packages and also continuously deploy them on openqa.opensuse.org. Just some minutes ago we released the new major version 5 of os-autoinst+openQA with the actual specific versions being os-autoinst-5.1740506581.723f45e and openQA-5.1740508540.97132f2d so let's celebrate! :partying_face:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/changelog also shows version 5 deployed
