Description

Motivation

[08/11/2018 09:04:36] <okurz> riafarov, oorlov: regarding the RT bug about devel_basis and such, would be great if Jeffrey could have tested in before. I don't see why we need to do the rather trivial check of "does it even resolve dependencies". WDYT?
[…]
[08/11/2018 10:06:05] <riafarov> okurz: sure, if we could improve the process there it would be great. As of now I believe we played it safe as we haven't planned to dedicate whole sprint to RT before getting blocked

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: changes in the package 000product can be tested before a submit request is accepted into any staging project

Suggestions

  • Can media be created locally by devs e.g. using something like "mksusecd"? See https://github.com/shundhammer/huha-linux-tips/blob/master/doc/yast-devel-tips.md#duds-and-isos
  • Research how media can be created e.g. in development or home projects, how other release managers test something before "complete build validation"
  • Document somewhere or reference existing documentation how changes in the package 000product can be tested before a submit request is accepted into any staging project
  • Optional: Provide helper scripts to ease the job

talked shundhammer today and he confirmed that "mksusecd" or "mkdud" is the way to go

As we learned with release managers we seem to run around in circles a bit, multiple project managers just pointing to each other until we reach the beginning ;)

One possibility mentioned was setting up staging tests for RT even though not the only choice. As a reference https://openqa.suse.de/tests?match=rt-product mentions the openQA tests we have for "build validation" on SLE15SP1, e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2280268

coolo wants to handle it.

I added rt-product to staging:a - but ADDURL is miscalculated: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2282667#

The wrong selection of modules is coming from the variable definition for WORKAROUND_MODULES on all staging media on https://openqa.suse.de/admin/products which is most likely only valid for SLES, not other SLE products.

@coolo I suggest to remove the scenario again from staging project(s) until we have clarified the value and effort. As this ticket here was originally – and should still be – about "How can the RM of RT test his own changes" I am separating the "add staging project" into #44393

Again, is it well communicated with Jeffrey. From the ticket I see two of us have came up with something. I personally have no interest in driving and establishing full release cycle for the RT, but rather support RM if there is any request.

Also, seems to duplicate #44393 partly.

Well, sure, let's do this. I see we with our QA view can provide the best value by helping development setting up a product development chain including automated tests when we already have expertise in this area. But why did you move it out of the sprint then? So I move it to "future" and we can clarify this first and then plan accordingly.

Also, seems to duplicate #44393 partly.

No, it's not. You can read #44393 which I cloned it from. Because our initial idea was turned into "We just need a staging test" which is not covering all.

I guess this request is obsolete by now, in particular considering RT
