We need one (or more) standard locations where new iso images get posted
for testing, and a watcher that can monitor for new iso images and launch
appropriate installation/sanity tests.

#149: rpmlint: Provide whitelisting of messages
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: kparal | Owner:

We need to provide some whitelisting capability of rpmlint packages, so
the package maintainers can mark some messages as invalid. We will also
probably want to mark some messages as invalid by default for the whole
Fedora project.
As an interesting inspiration, look at lintian project (validation of deb
packages). It provides some "overrides" on a package basis, you just
create a definition file in /etc/lintian/package_name or kind of. I have
the feeling that rpmlint provides something similar, but we need to
discover it more properly.

allow {{{VirtGuest.create()}}} to use an iso image (or images) for its
{{{location}}} arg, and automatically choose the appropriate {{{--location
URL}}} or {{{--cdrom IMAGE}}} flag.

#153: rpmguard: Separate checks into individual python files
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: kparal | Owner:

Component: tests | Version: 1.0
Keywords: rpmguard |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
It would be great to have individual checks in rpmguard available as
separate files, very similarly to what rpmlint or yum (-plugins) use. It
would allow easy enabling/disabling of specific check, it would allow easy
contribution of a new check.

#150: "artificial ignorance": suppress errors and warnings that aren't important
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: dmalcolm | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Package Sanity Tests
Component: tests | Version: 1.0

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
There are some interesting ideas in here about suppressing a logfile to
show up the information that's truly important:
http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/papers/ai/index.html
I think that the rpmlint test needs to have a set of filters, and should
suppress output matching certain patterns. For example
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa-results/2010-April/013903.html
shows:
{{{
gnome-python2-gnome.i686: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) libgnome -> lib
gnome, lib-gnome, cognomen
}}}
i.e. it's complaining about a reference to "libgnome" within gnome-
python2-gnome, which is clearly a false-positive.
For this case we might have a python filtering process that says something
like this (caveat: untested):
{{{
patterns = [
": W: spelling-error \S+ libgnome .*",
]
def should_ignore(line):
for pat in patterns
# May want to precompile the patterns:
m = re.match(pat, line)
if m:
return True
# No match:
return False
for line in rpmlint_output
if not should_ignore(line):
print(line)
}}}
and then gradually grow patterns. The idea is to make it nice and
lightweight, and Fedora QA can then easily take ownership of the
suppresssions, without having to get patches into rpmlint.

#138: ResultsDB: media wiki as a storage for metadata about tests

Once #135 #136 and #137 are finished, we should create a provider/middle
man (probably a library) which will allow us to get information about the
respective test and use it for test execution/storing results/displaying
results via frontends...

#137: ResultsDB: propose structure for storing metadata about tests on wiki

We want to use mediawiki as a storage for tests metadata. We should agree
on the fields we want to store (e.g. test owner, destructive/non-
destructive, average time to complete test etc.) and the format we'll use
to store it (probably JSON though).
