This repo is causing problems for Branched update tests. The
repo is not available for 26 at all yet. This shouldn't be a
problem as the repo is disabled by default, but it seems that
some things - at least realmd, as used in the FreeIPA enrolment
tests - still try to update the repo's metadata when installing
packages, and fail because it 404s.
Since none of our tests actually needs this repo AFAIK, let's
just delete it in repo_setup.
Branched update tests are all failing because the baseurl in
fedora.repo is incorrect for Branched. This is a rather hacky
fix for this problem. It relies on the scheduler setting the
DEVELOPMENT variable when the update is for Branched (I named
the variable DEVELOPMENT rather than BRANCHED to be more
future-proof).
Alternative options I rejected were:
i) stick with MM links
ii) do something 'clever' to retrieve the URLs from MM
Rejected i) because the timing problem where the infra repo gets
updated before MM has the updated repodata checksums is just too
much of a problem; whenever that happens, dnf will refuse to use
the metadata from the infra repo and go pull it from an external
mirror, which can wind up timing out.
Rejected ii) because it seemed too fancy and not really any more
robust than just doing this and adapting it if Things Change In
Future (TM).
Summary:
This adds some logging related to the update testing workflow,
so we have some idea what we actually tested. We log precisely
which packages were actually downloaded from the update - this
is important as updates can be edited and when examining results
we'll want to know which packages actually got used. We also
add a new module which runs at the end of postinstall and tries
to figure out which packages from the update were installed in
the course of the test. This still isn't a guarantee the test
actually *tested them* in any way, but it at least means they
got installed successfully and didn't interfere with the test.
Test Plan:
Run the update test workflow, check the logs get
uploaded and seem accurate (sometimes some RPM garbage messages
wind up in the package log, I'm not too worried about that at
present). Run the compose test workflow and check it didn't
break.

Summary:
This adds an entirely new workflow for testing distribution
updates. The `ADVISORY` variable is introduced: when set,
`main.pm` will load an early post-install test that sets up
a repository containing the packages from the specified update,
runs `dnf -y update`, and reboots. A new templates file is
added, `templates-updates`, which adds two new flavors called
`updates-server` and `updates-workstation`, each containing
job templates for appropriate post-install tests. Scheduler is
expected to post `ADVISORY=(update ID) HDD_1=(base image)
FLAVOR=updates-(server|workstation)`, where (base image) is one
of the stable release base disk images produced by `createhdds`
and usually used for upgrade testing. This will result in the
appropriate job templates being loaded.
We rejig postinstall test loading and static network config a
bit so that this works for both the 'compose' and 'updates' test
flows: we have to ensure we bring up networking for the tap
tests before we try and install the updates, but still allow
later adjustment of the configuration. We take advantage of the
openQA feature that was added a few months back to run the same
module multiple times, so the `_advisory_update` module can
reboot after installing the updates and the modules that take
care of bootloader, encryption and login get run again. This
looks slightly wacky in the web UI, though - it doesn't show the
later runs of each module.
We also use the recently added feature to specify `+HDD_1` in
the test suites which use a disk image uploaded by an earlier
post-install test, so the test suite value will take priority
over the value POSTed by the scheduler for those tests, and we
will use the uploaded disk image (and not the clean base image
POSTed by the scheduler) for those tests.
My intent here is to enhance the scheduler, adding a consumer
which listens out for critpath updates, and runs this test flow
for each one, then reports the results to ResultsDB where Bodhi
could query and display them. We could also add a list of other
packages to have one or both sets of update tests run on it, I
guess.
Test Plan:
Try a post something like:
HDD_1=disk_f25_server_3_x86_64.img DISTRI=fedora VERSION=25
FLAVOR=updates-server ARCH=x86_64 BUILD=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c
ADVISORY=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c CURRREL=25 PREVREL=24
Pick an appropriate `ADVISORY` (ideally, one containing some
packages which might actually be involved in the tests), and
matching `FLAVOR` and `HDD_1`. The appropriate tests should run,
a repo with the update packages should be created and enabled
(and dnf update run), and the tests should work properly. Also
test a regular compose run to make sure I didn't break anything.

I accidentally left the `my $self = shift` lines in these when
changing them from methods into functions, so they don't work
right at all. Whoops. Sorry.
Summary:
This adds a couple of new exporter modules, renames main_common
to utils (this is a better name: openSUSE's main_common is
functions used in main.pm, utils is what they call their module
full of miscellaneous commonly-used functions), and moves a
bunch of utility functions that were previously needlessly
implemented as instance methods in base classes into the
exporter modules. That means we can get rid of all the annoying
$self-> syntax for calling them.
We get rid of `fedorabase` entirely, as it's no longer useful
for anything. Other base classes keep the 'standard' methods
(like `post_fail_hook`) and methods which actually need to be
methods (like `root_console`, whose behaviour is different in
anacondatest and installedtest).
Test Plan:
Do a full test suite run and check everything lines
up. There should be no functional differences from before at all,
this is just a re-org.
