How to enable package gating

2020-03-31 Thread Vojtěch Trefný
Hi, I need help with enabling gating on my package. I actually thought
I've already enabled it 2 months ago but I've noticed the tests are not
running in Bodhi and it also says that "no tests are required" on my
last rawhide Bodhi update [1]

This [2] is my gating.yml, I think the problem is wrong
"test_case_name", I was able to find three different examples with three
different "test_case_name" values:
- fedora-ci.koji-build.tier0.functional [3]
- org.centos.prod.ci.pipeline.allpackages-build.complete [4]
-
org.centos.prod.ci.pipeline.allpackages-build.package.test.functional.complete
[5]

so which one of these should I use? Or is there a different problem with
my gating.yml? I am quite sure the problem is not in the tests or
tests.yml because tests on PRs in Pagure are working as expected.

Thanks in advance.

Actually lvmdbusd is using dbus-python so Anaconda indirectly depends on
it (Blivet is using LVM DBus API for LVM management).

From https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-python/blob/master/NEWS:

"The deprecated dbus-glib library is no longer required. A bundled copy
  of its main loop integration code is included instead."

We are using dbus-python in some of our packages (mostly test suite for
UDisks and some helper scripts etc.). From the git repo it looks like
the project is actively maintained and latest release is less than month
old so I think there is no reason to retire dbus-python.
If nobody wants to maintain this package I can do that. It's definitely
easier than rewriting our code to something else.

That's actually a bug in libblockdev, only multipath plugin should

[HEADS UP] udisks 2.6.4 released, replacing storaged

2017-03-14 Thread Vojtěch Trefný
Hi, we released a new version of the udisks storage management daemon. 
The biggest news is actually the name itself -- udisks was replaced by 
storaged in Fedora 25[1] but since then we have agreed with udisks 
maintainer on merging both projects back (storaged was originally fork 
of udisks) using the original name 'udisks'. This is the first release 
of 'storaged' using the old 'udisks' name[2].


We will also retire the storaged package and use the 'old' udisks2 
package for Fedora starting with this release. Only cockpit currently 
depends on the storaged package, other projects still depend on the 
udisks2 package (which had been provided by the storaged  package), so 
this change won't affect them.


The 2.6.4 release contains numerous bugfixes and a lot of new tests. For 
full list of changes visit our GitHub[3].

== Detailed Description ==
Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.


I think making Anaconda more complicated is the wrong direction to go
in. Examples of stable installers that have exactly zero bugs at
release time are stupid point and shoot installers that reliably meet
the needs of 80% of the user base. A stand alone partitioning tool
meets the needs of the remaining 19%.

I continue to suggest pulling the existing custom storage UI out of
anaconda. Make it the Easy UI option for blivet-gui, with the existing
blivet-gui the Advanced UI. And then have blivet-gui write out some
metadata that anaconda can use to override whatever its
autopartitioning configuration is, leaving the user to only deal with
the other spokes.

The proposal as it is strikes me as creating even more traps for
unsuspecting users. Already a good portion of Anaconda's custom UI
isn't tested by QA, and yet there's a release criterion that says if
the installer offers a way to do something, then it needs to work,
otherwise it's a release blocking bug. This proposal increases the
footprint for blocking bugs, in a tool that currently has 5 of 13
release blocking bugs.


The contingency plan for adding blivet-gui to Anaconda is simple -- if 
it is not stable enough we just won't include it. This will be quite 
small change in Anaconda code base and removing it will take just few 
seconds.






Unlike the current custom partitioning screen in Anaconda, which works
in a top-down way (user specifies mountpoints and their properties),
blivet-gui works with the bottom-up principle (user has full control
to assemble the storage configuration from individual members). By
integrating blivet-gui into anaconda we will make the bottom-up

Integration is not the only way to make it available to users. I'm
fairly perturbed that Windows and macOS have rock solid OS installers,
and Fedora continues to have the most indefensible asinine bugs in its
installer - even including data loss bugs in autopartitioning - and
the idea is to make it even more complicated?

I just see this as a proposal for more bugs, and not fixing the warts
the installer already has.

I'm in favor of this; it addresses one of the persistant remaining
complaints I hear from systems administrators and Linux enthusiasts
(the latter usually with very strong opinions on how they want things)
about the new Anaconda. It's currently hard to respond to these without
telling people that their preferences are wrong - which is not a strong
way to convince someone.


That's exactly the reason to add this option.



I do hope there is UX thought put into how to present the choice,
though -- making it available without making the whole process seem 4x
as complicated seems like a challenge.





The change in the storage spoke* will be very small. Now, you have to 
choose between autopart and manual storage configuration and we will add 
a third option to use blivet-gui (it will be probably labeled "expert 
storage configuration" or something like that) and blivet-gui will be in 
a separate spoke -- just like the current "manual" configuration (custom 
spoke).

Hi, good idea. Unfortunately this will most likely work similarly to 
current custom spoke -- you'll need to choose if you want to use 
autopart, manual configuration (custom spoke) or blivet-gui and leaving 
the spoke will reset the storage configuration.
But custom spoke has an option to create the storage configuration 
automatically and it shouldn't be so hard to add it to blivet-gui too 
(it can even call the same anaconda/blivet functions).

= Proposed Self Contained Change:Blivet-GUI in Anaconda =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaBlivetGUI

Change owner(s):
* Martin Kolman 
* Vojtěch Trefný 


Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.


== Detailed Description ==
Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.
Unlike the current custom partitioning screen in Anaconda, which works
in a top-down way (user specifies mountpoints and their properties),
blivet-gui works with the bottom-up principle (user has full control
to assemble the storage configuration from individual members). By
integrating blivet-gui into anaconda we will make the bottom-up
partitioning available to users during the installation. Blivet-gui is
built on top of the blivet library, which is used by Anaconda for
storage configuration, this makes the change very easy to implement
and doesn't bring new code and dependecies into the installer other
than a relatively small GUI package.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- blivet-gui devs: Prepare blivet-gui for integration into Anaconda --
change the UI to look consistently while running fullscreen inside an
Anaconda spoke, change look and feel of blivet-gui dialogs to match
Anaconda dialogs, add storage configuration sanity checking into
blivet-gui.
- anaconda devs: Add an option to use blivet-gui to the Storage spoke,
add blivet-gui package as a dependency of the anaconda package so that
it is pulled into the installation environment and also add an option
to not show blivet-gui in anaconda if requested (see
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/docs/user-interaction-config-file-spec.rst%7C
for detailed explanation how hiding spokes works in Anaconda).

Hi All,

Between my $dayjob, other foss projects and last but not

lately.

So I'm trying to find a new home for the packages I maintain
pretty much anything on the point of contact list here is fair game:

If you want to take some packages over please let me know which

Thanks & Regards,

Self Introduction: Vojtech Trefny

2015-01-22 Thread Vojtěch Trefný

Hi all,

my name is Vojtech Trefny and I am from the Czech Republic. I have been 
using Linux and OSS for nearly ten years now. I spent most of this time 
in Ubuntu community doing non-development work (localisation, 
documentation, advocacy...), but I switched to Fedora in 2013, joined 
Red Hat later that year as an intern and finally last year's october 
moved to the Installer team where I work on storage, mostly on a small 
application called blivet-gui.


Regards

Vojtech

- Original Message -

Good news, everyone! We (me and CC'd Vojtech Trefny) would like to
introduce you the next generation tool for storage management -- the
**blivet-gui** tool [1]_. It is a GUI tool based on the blivet python
library (originally Anaconda's storage management and configuration
tool) inspired by GParted and other storage management tools. Why not
use GParted you ask?

Actually my question is "why not gnome-disk-utility?" :)


Because it doesn't support LVMs and RAIDs. GNOME Disks is application 
for "normal" users -- it helps them to format their USB flash drive or 
create an image of disk or check smart data etc. One of its goals is to 
not provide "expert" functions.
