Infrastructure 2020/Rawhide Gating

This is a shorthand list of items we are needing to cover for building Rawhide Gating in Fedora Infrastructure for the Fiscal Year 2020.

Point of contact: Pingou

Time for implementation: 2020-03-31(?)

Change proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GatingRawhidePackages

Task breakdown

Bodhi

• Single package update
  • We will need to write a message-bus listener that will automatically create a bodhi update for each package built in the rawhide-gated tag.
  • We will need to write a message-bus listener to automatically push bodhi updates created for rawhide that have passed CI (the decision being announced by Greenwave).

• Multi package update
  • We will need to allow bodhi to create a new update from a specified side-tag instead of a list of builds.
  • We will need to write a message-bus listener that, upon greenwave notifications about an update created from a side-tag passing CI, will move all of its builds into the rawhide-candidate tag and clean the side-tag created for this update.
  • We will need to write a script that regularly clean old side-tags left around

Koji

• We will need a koji plugin allowing packagers to create new side-tags

fedpkg/rpkg

• We will need to add support for the command: fedpkg side-tag create which will create a new side-tag in koji for this user using the new plugin
• We will need to add support for the command: fedpkg side-tag merge which will call bodhi to ask it to create an update corresponding to this side-tag
  • Alternatively: Expand the existing fedpkg update command to add support for creating a new update from a side-tag
