action #180809
Updated by livdywan 17 days ago
## Motivation
As explained in the parent #180806 new maintenance workflows are planned based on the https://src.suse.de gitea instead and while SMELT is planned to be adapted right now it is not yet there, see https://gitlab.suse.de/tools/smash/-/issues/1458 and https://gitlab.suse.de/tools/smelt/-/issues/1147 , still the plan exists to have a first "dry run" of the SLE 16 maintenance workflow ready by 2025-07-08 as decided as part of #180602. As QE engineers so far rely on qem-dashboard and qem-bot features like "approvable_for" comments we should find out if and how feasible an adaptation of qem-bot+qem-dashboard to such workflow is.
## Goals
* **G1:** We know how it is feasible to use qem-bot+qem-dashboard to trigger+monitor+approve SLE 16 maintenance updates based on src.suse.de w/o SMELT
* **G2:** Tickets with specific tasks for necessary adaptations exist
* **G3:** We know the impact on other plans regarding qembot/dashboard features
## Suggestions
* Grab the code and prepare a proof of concept relying on gitea
* Go through other related tickets i.e. about planned qem-bot/dashboard changes and feature requests
* Clarify with @okurz whether that is mean with G3 which was previously mentioning "sibling upgrade tasks".
