QA » openQA Project

Motivation¶

openQA supports schedule parameters, e.g. http://open.qa/docs/#_spawning_multiple_jobs_based_on_templates_isos_post . To move more settings from crufty tools like qa-maintenance/openQABot into something well-maintained, like openQA job templates in git, and also allow more fine-grained control openQA should support schedule parameters within job templates

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: __DEPRIORITIZEBUILD=1 ensures to deprioritize scheduled jobs from older builds for same products when specified within job templates but not isos post parameters

Suggestions¶

• Try it out if it's feasible
• When necessary apply (small) changes to support that
• Bonus: Consider precedence, e.g. what if the same setting is applied in multiple places, which one wins?
• Document

Out of scope¶

If seen as not feasible to implement in a "reasonable time", abort
