Barak Korren updated OVIRT-1746:
--------------------------------
Epic Link: OVIRT-400
Make stand-alone upstream source collection and updating tool
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-1746
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1746
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: oVirt CI
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
Labels: poll-upstream-sources, upstream-source-collector
The upstream source collection code is currently built included in two different files -
"{{upstream-source-collector.py}}" and "{{poll-upstream-sources.py}}".
The files reside in "{{jobs/confs/python-scripts}}" which in turn mean they are
mean for embedding into jobs by JJB.
This situation causes several issues:
# It is not easy for users to use these scripts locally, and hence its difficult to build
or test repos that include upstream source dependencies locally
# There is code duplication between the two python scripts
# Adding certain features is harder because it requires one of the scripts to have access
to code that resides in the other script (See OVIRT-1641 for example)
# It is impossible to use the code from pipelines (See OVIRT-1745)
# It is not east to add tests for the code
It is desirable to have the upstream source handling code be concentrated into a single
tool that resides in the '{{scripts}}' directory.
