QA » openQA Project

user story¶

As a visitor of openQA instance I would like to know the currently running openQA version. It is useful for instances I do not have ssh access to see the package version (e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org)

acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Show same version as available in packages, e.g. OBS package in devel:openQA
• AC2: For git deployed instances show unique version from git
• AC3: If no version can be found this is handled gracefully

tasks¶

• read version from rpm file if available
• read version using git describe
• provide git tag on master repo (see below)
• display version e.g. in footer
• can provide helper that are usable in branding so that vendors can tailor (that sounds weird)

further details¶

• "unique version from git" could be git describe based on a tag which is on a very old commit so that the counter value of commits after the tag has some use.

If this raise a security issue, it can require login to see it.
