action #43619
Updated by okurz over 4 years ago
The workflow of eg. adding a new dependency to os-autoinst/openQA is badly documented and there is room for improvement. The following points could be improved in my opinion: 1. Move files for the docker environment used to run tests of os-autoinst and openQA within Travis to its own repository. Or at least get somehow rid of the cyclic dependency between os-autoinst and openQA regarding the test environment. 2. DONE: ~~Have <s>Have os-autoinst's *.spec file in Git like it is already done for openQA. This would ease updating the dependencies. Or am I missing a technical limitation preventing us to do so?~~ so?</s> - already implemented 3. DONE: See https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/docs/Contributing.asciidoc#dependency-handling : ~~Document Document all the places where to add/remove new/obsolete dependencies. Incomplete list of places which should be covered:~~ covered: * CPAN files for Perl dependencies * *.spec files * Docker files * asset cache for external JavaScript/CSS libraries 4. Document the purpose of the different Docker files. --- This ticket is mainly for gathering some ideas and further discussion. If we want to implement some of the points, we can create separate ticket if required.
