Hi all,
Last year, the Fedora CoreOS working group implemented CI testing [1] for Bodhi updates on a set of critical packages [2]. Automatic updates are a key feature of Fedora CoreOS, and this testing helps us detect update related issues early, improving Fedora’s update stability and reducing troubleshooting time.
While our long-term goal is to implement this CI testing in fedora-bootc with Bodhi gating integration, there's still significant work ahead before we can trigger fedora-bootc tests on Bodhi updates. It's worth noting that many of the tests currently running in Fedora CoreOS CI are essentially "image mode" tests rather than CoreOS-specific tests. Eventually, we expect to migrate these tests to fedora-bootc. However, until that infrastructure is ready, enabling gating on the FCOS suite provides immediate image mode coverage for critical packages.
Given our experience running these tests, we would like to propose making the coreos.cosa.build-and-test a required gate for package updates in rawhide. We've already been successfully gating packages owned by the Fedora CoreOS working group [3], and we'd like to extend this requirement to the broader package set defined here [4].
Following is the breakdown of passed vs failed builds by package on over 400 builds, this gives package maintainers an idea of how often an update might be gated. It is important to note that not all test failures here are related to the software in the proposed Bodhi update since there could be flakes; either due to the test infra environment or due to some transient test pipeline misconfiguration. In the case where failures are not related to updates , it would be easy to waive the test or coordinate with the Fedora CoreOS working group to disable the test.
*Packages highlighted in blue are maintained by the Fedora CoreOS working group.
