[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 12.1 update stack testing

I'm trying to test Apper, the renamed latest version of KPackageKit on 12.1 and need to clarify how the update tests *should* work. If I revert all the update-test- packages to their 12.1 vanilla versions, I see update-test-affects-package-manager as the only update. However, installing this update also pulls in every other update-test- package, immediately. Expected behaviour would be for update-test-package- manager to install, Apper to restart itself, then for it to present the other update-test-packages. Since update-test-affects-package-manager does not require or recommend any of these packages, I looked at http://download.opensuse.org/12.1/repodata/updateinfo.xml.gz, and this lists all the other packages as belonging to the update with id update-test-affects- package-manager. Is this correct? If so, what is the mechanism that causes u-t-a-p-m to pull in the other u-t packages?

Comparing the update-test updateinfo.xml with the live data for eg 11.1 the reboot_suggested and restart_suggested tags are missing from the relevant packages in 12.1's metadata. Therefore I assume any update stack testing done for 12.1 is invalid. Anyone with a clue want to confirm this for me?

It's hardly 'test what you fly, and fly what you test' is it? I can only show that Apper has no regressions vs KPackageKit on 11.4 update stack, when we know that the components are notoriously tightly coupled. I'll do this in a VM now, but would it be possible to generate update-test metadata using the old system for now? We have 2 days to RC2 and irrespective of KDE only issues, the rest of the stack needs testing or we risk shipping a release that can't be fixed later.</statingtheobvious> Will -- Will Stephenson, openSUSE Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Good work, Rudi. But the update-test-interactive package is still missing from /update/12.1, could you add it please?

sorry, can't find any valid example for this yet. The interactive stuff was IMHO never implemented for 11.x (libzypp/satsolver variant). The only ones I can find are reboot_needed and so on, and we already have these.

Lacking documentation on the updateinfo.xml schema, I compared the 12.1 test metadata to the current 11.1 updateinfo.xml. There are no <reboot_suggested> or <restart_suggested> tags in the 12.1 data for the relevant packages, so I guess the 12.1 test data is buggy and any update stack testing performed for 12.1 so far is invalid :(.
