Description
In order to make "factory-tested" and "factory ISO" possible (see https://progress.opensuse.org/workflow/factory-proposal.html ), we need some way to 'stamp' a build as 'good enough' and a way to coordinate the publishing of new ISOs and repositories with that stamp.
Adrian recommends the following scenario:
openSUSE:Factory builds new ISOs without caring about build numbers per se - and publishes the FTP tree as factory_untested when it's ready.
an external entity checks if openQA is ready with the previous build and if openSUSE:Factory is ready with a new build (all ISOs built) and if so, triggers a "release" of openSUSE:Factory into openSUSE:Factory:ToTest and assigns a build number to all ISOs while copying the ISOs/repos.
openQA tests only staging projects and openSUSE:Factory:ToTest and once openQA is done with testing the build, the build is published and the previous step gets a green light to copy a new build.
OBS doesn't require new features to implement this, we'd need to implement the logic around it though.
the solution is set out, but I had to fix several other things around factory ISOs to get closer to the goal of this issue
will create more defined tasks
