Apart from what I pointed out, I've also faced a few issues when
trying out your patch:
- grub stays in a loop, forever;
- I've worked this around by not setting "--graphics none --console
pty" and removing "console=ttyS0" from the extra_arg line;
- It really has to be solved in a better way ;-)
I've wasted way too much time trying to debug this problem. It definitely seems
like an issue in our grub 2.02 package. I've reached out to the maintainer for help.
- Update installed packages:
- I've added:
```
+- name: Update installed packages
+ command: '{{ package_manager }} update -y'
+ args:
+ warn: no
+ when:
+ - os_name == 'openSUSE'
```
- Clean up packages after update:
- I've added:
```
- name: Clean up packages after update
shell: '{{ package_manager }} clean packages -y && {{
package_manager }} autoremove -y'
args:
warn: no
when:
- package_format == 'rpm'
+ - not os_name == "openSUSE"
+
+- name: Clean up packages after update
+ shell: '{{ package_manager }} clean -y'
+ args:
+ warn: no
+ when:
+ - os_name = "openSUSE"
+
```
- Missing mappings:
- qemu-img:
- Seems that the package doesn't exist in openSUSE. So, please,
just do something like:
It is included in the qemu-tools package.
```
qemu-img:
default: qemu-utils
rpm: qemu-img
+ openSUSE:
So this should be
OpenSUSE: qemu-tools
(using the uppercase 'O' as Andreas suggested :-)) ?
```
- zfs:
- Same as above
- yajl:
- It seems to be called libyajl-devel for openSUSE
- Look for files
- There's a "Look for files" rule (in
guests/playbooks/update/tasks/paths.yml) which will just bail out as
/usr/local/etc doesn't exist in openSUSE. It has to be tweaked as
well;
- Configure ccache:
- This is a rule in guests/playbooks/update/tasks/users.yml, which
takes into consideration that when the test user is created, we'll
have a test group created as well, which doesn't happen on openSUSE.
So, it also need some tweak;
I didn't write a patch for those, sorry, but I hope it gives you some
idea on the problems I faced (and that you'll face) and how to solve
then.
Once those are solved/worked around, you'll be able to run the
"update" command and then, finally, you'll be able to expand
guests/playbooks/build/projects/ in order to add openSUSE there and
check whether we can successfully build the projects using openSUSE.
Thanks for all this info! I'll work on incorporating your comments as I have
some time slices. It may take a few days.
Here I'm assuming your main goal is libvirt. Once that's
done, I can
do the work for libosinfo, osinfo-db-tools, and osinfo-db.
I assumed libvirt would be the harder one since it has a lot of build
dependencies, so I started with it first. I'm guessing the other projects will
be easy once the libvirt one is working.

Jim
