[ovirt-devel] Integrating OST with artifacts built in github

Looking this very helpful document https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/migrating_to_github.html The suggested solution is to create artifacts.zip with all the rpms for a project. But to use the rpms in OST, we need to create a yum repository before uploading the artifacts, so we can pass a URL of a zip file with a yum repository. Here is what we have now in ovirt-imageio: 1. We build for multiple distros: https://github.com/nirs/ovirt-imageio/blob/790e6b79e756de24ef5134aa583bea... 2. Every build creates a repo in exported-artifacts https://github.com/nirs/ovirt-imageio/blob/790e6b79e756de24ef5134aa583bea... 3. Every build uploads the exported artifacts to rpm-{distro}.zip https://github.com/nirs/ovirt-imageio/blob/790e6b79e756de24ef5134aa583bea... An example build: https://github.com/nirs/ovirt-imageio/actions/runs/1531658722 To start OST manually, developer can copy a link the right zip file (e.g for centos stream 8): https://github.com/nirs/ovirt-imageio/suites/4535392764/artifacts/121520882 And pass the link to OST build with parameters job. In this solution, OST side gets a repo that can be included in the build without any additional code or logic - just unzip and use the repo from the directory. I think this is the minimal solution to allow running OST with built artifacts from github. For triggering jobs automatically, we will need a way to find the right artifacts for a build, or use some convention for naming the artifacts in all projects. I started with the simple convention of jobname-containername since it is easy to integrate with the infrastructure we already have in the project. Nir
