ALP: Build Service Git-Packaging Workflow

Meeting Wednesdays at 08:00 UTC in

Next Meeting Oct 4th

Attendees

discussion+work started on project git without submodules, but packages defined in a file (format to be defined)
- by Olaf Kirch + Robert Schweikert
- includes extra info on lifecycle, dependencies, …
- allows for following unversioned branches
- research on grouping can be found here: https://github.com/okirch/package_monkey
  - grouping of packages on a source and on a binary level
  - not necessarily self contained, workbench will be used to resolve missing deps
- matches one of the founding goals of the workgroup:
  - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/Git-Packaging-Workflow/WorkPackages/Distro-Management
gitea action worker connected to src.o.o ; ~~needs testing~~
- currently no specific actions are implemented, but gitea.com actions are enabled on the instance
- tested at https://src.opensuse.org/alexlau/gitea-actions-test/actions/runs/2
- currently factory uses source-validator and download_files, implement those as gitea actions?
- use a tailored/openSUSE specific container image for the CI runs?
gitea update to 1.20.x for pending security fixes
- sha256-support patch needs rebase => AI Adam
currently maintaining packages in src.opensuse.org git is possible for factory
- can it also be submitted then to SLE15 ?
  - yes, as the packages are converted into “regular” build service pacakges with one additional file, no restrictions are in place on how to submit it to SLE15 afaik

AI: Dirk: reach out to olaf and robert to present potentially the implementation here in a future meeting
