these rarely get used any more. they're only used when we're
running the filesystem tests on a non-Server image, where the
default fs is ext4 not xfs. With the old nightly process, where
we only got a generic boot.iso, we used them all the time, but
now we get product-ized nightlies, we rarely do. But I did hit
them today running the universal tests with a generic boot.iso
I hand-built to test an anaconda update, so in case we need to
do that kind of thing again in future, we may as well update
the needles.
Summary:
we have a long-standing problem with all the tests that hit
the repositories. The tests are triggered as soon as a compose
completes. At this point in time, the compose is not synced to
the mirrors, where the default 'fedora' repo definition looks;
the sync happens after the compose completes, and there is also
a metadata sync step that must happen after *that* before any
operation that uses the 'fedora' repository definition will
actually use the packages from the new compose. Thus all net
install tests and tests that installed packages have been
effectively testing the previous compose, not the current one.
We have some thoughts about how to fix this 'properly' (such
that the openQA tests wouldn't have to do anything special,
but their 'fedora' repository would somehow reflect the compose
under test), but none of them is in place right now or likely
to happen in the short term, so in the mean time this should
deal with most of the issues. With this change, everything but
the default_install tests for the netinst images should use
the compose-under-test's Everything tree instead of the 'fedora'
repository, and thus should install and test the correct
packages.
This relies on a corresponding change to openqa_fedora_tools
to set the LOCATION openQA setting (which is simply the base
location of the compose under test).
Test Plan:
Do a full test run, check (as far as you can) tests run sensibly
and use appropriate repositories.

Summary:
the dictionary error bug was fixed some time back, so drop this
workaround for it.
Test Plan:
Run all tests for F25 and Rawhide and verify they don't need
this workaround any longer.

this needle can actually also match the 'Delete all' button,
resulting in the test not doing what it should. openQA should
prefer the match closer to the area's location in the needle,
but https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/31136 seems to show
this not happening, so let's make the match area wider in all
versions of the needle so it should no longer match the Delete
all button.
font rendering has changed somehow in both Rawhide and F25
updates-testing, retake a bunch of needles for this. Some more
may be needed later in tests that are currently failed or
skipped for other reasons.
now we're getting composes with the product name 'Fedora-Atomic'
this needle doesn't match them. Tweak it so it should match both
'Fedora' and 'Fedora-Atomic'.
Summary:
Set up the support server to provide DHCP/DNS functionality and
an NFS server, providing a kickstart. Add a kickstart test just
like the other root-user-crypted-net kickstart tests except it
gets the kickstart from the support server via NFS. Also add NFS
repository tests and a second support server for Server-dvd-iso
flavor: this test must run on that flavor to ensure that packages
are actually available. The support server just mounts the
attached 'DVD' and exports it via NFS.
Note we don't need to do anything clever to avoid IP conflicts
between the two support servers, because os-autoinst-openvswitch
ensures each worker group is on its own VLAN.
As part of adding the NFS repo tests, I did a bit of cleanup,
moving little things we were repeating a lot into anacondatest,
and sharing the 'check if the repo was used' logic between all
the tests (by making it into a test step that's loaded for all
of them). I also simplified the 'was repo used' checks a bit,
it seems silly to run a 'grep' command inside the VM then have
os-autoinst do a grep on the output (which is effectively what
we were doing before), instead we'll just use a single grep
within the VM, and clean up the messy quoting/escaping a bit.
Test Plan:
Run all tests - at least all repository tests - and
check they work (make sure the tests are actually still sane,
not just that they pass). I've done runs of all the repo tests
and they look good to me, but please double-check. I'm currently
re-running the whole 24-20160609.n.0 test on staging with these
changes.

Summary:
this is following a SUSE model for tests where we need a server
end but don't want setting up the server to constitute a real
test in itself, we want it to be stable. The 'support_server'
test just boots a pre-built (by createhdds) disk image, sets up
networking, and runs the iSCSI server.
To run the iSCSI test we need to handle networking config in
anaconda (or we would need to set the support server up as a
DHCP server, which may be worth considering), so this adds that.
We also need to be able to specify the target device for a
volume in custom partitioning, so this adds that too.
Test Plan:
Build the necessary support server disk image (use
D883), then run the test and make sure it works. Also make sure
all other tests continue to work.

Summary:
the Server DVD now just has 'Fedora Server' and 'Custom
Operating System' environments. Custom is basically minimal.
So we can use the DVD for 'universal' testing again, these
needles match the anaconda_minimal tags.
Test Plan:
Run the 'universal' tests on a DVD ISO with these
needles added, test that they work OK and use the 'Custom' env.

Summary:
Requires new needles and test suite and job template, plus a
few tweaks to handle 'switched' keyboard layouts (so we use the
switched layout in the username and password).
Test Plan:
Run the test and see that it...fails. But that's OK!
It's a genuine bug: RHBZ #1333998 . At least make sure it gets
to that point and no other tests have broken and all the needles
look sane.
