CheckRepo Plugin Documentation

Table of Contents

Introduction

This plugin check for usual mistakes and problems in the packages and in the requests submitted by the users. For example, when a user link incorrectly a project that is outside his own source container, or when a new dependency cycle is introduced in a request, etc.

There are multiple ways of introducing problem into the requests and packages, and this plugin check for some of these conditions, accepting or declining the requests that are analyzed.

This plugin, also, use external programs that are inside OBS to extend the analysis, like for example the repo checker program that analyze the binary RPM package.

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory.git

Link the plugin and the library in ~/.osc-plugins or /var/lib/osc-plugins.

cd osc-plugin-factory
ln -sr ./osc-check_repo.py ./osclib ~/.osc-plugins

The program will search also some external scripts (like repo-checker.pl) inside the cloned directory (following the symlink).

Command line

This program is expected to be executed unattended, usually in a loop or in a cron job. For example, a valid loop that check the requests is:

while true; do osc cr list; date; sleep 3000; done

Checks done

One of the first things that CheckRepo do is recover the list of pending requests and group then according to the staging project that are assigned. If a request is not assigned to any staging project, this will be considered as a group itself.

Groups are useful to accept or decline them all together if there is a problem in one of the request of the group.

Each request inside the group is passed for a number of checks to decide if the request is valid or not. Some of the checks performed are:

  • Check if there are more that one action in the request.

  • Check the different source containers that are created for each SPEC file inside the request. This check makes sure that the SPEC file builds properly and that are pointing to the same source container.

  • Check that the package build at least for one Intel architecture (i586 or x86-64).

  • Check that the sources build properly for the requests.

  • Check that Factory repository is enabled in the request.

  • Check that the dependencies builds properly.

  • Check that there are no new cycles introduced by this request.

  • The binary analysis of the RPM generated is OK, using external applications.
