QA

Motivation¶

engcloud will be switched off, so we need to move the process to a different cloud server.

Acceptance Criteria¶

AC1: Everything is moved from engcloud to a different provider

Suggestions¶

• The daily cronjob needs to be moved.
• The cache files under ~/obs-mirror/obs-cache/ need to be copied. They contain the information about all modules and versions. Without the cache it can take several days to query the API to gather the information again
• Consider github actions and using git LFS for storing the state for each lettered project and the list of packages where cpanspec fails
  • when working in a github repository with GHA the state could be commited with git LFS into a separate branch with even just amending the last commit instead of adding new commits
• Consider OpenPlatform (Harvester) as a fallback solution if GitHub does not work out
• We also have munin running on that server with useful information about the build status, e.g. http://10.86.1.204/munin/obs-cpan-day.html . Ideally this should also be moved, but it doesn't have to run on the same server. The code for the munin data is also in https://github.com/openSUSE/autoupdate-perl
