In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1669256 it became
obvious that there's a missing feature in the new installer test
for updates: the update is both used in the image build process
and built into the installer environment itself, but it is not
actually included in the installed package set. This can be a
problem if the update has a bug that manifests *only* at install
time if it is in the install transaction (which is exactly the
case there), because the test will not catch this, and nor will
any other test.
So this commit makes `support_server` set up the update repo and
serve it out via NFS when it's run in an update context, and
makes the actual update install test run parallel with it and
use that repository. This way the install should include the
package(s) from the update. (It also of course means the test
fails if an update breaks NFS or something like that, but hey,
we want to know that!)
A parallel commit for fedora_openqa is necessary to add the
required CURRREL setting for the updates-installer flavor.

This adds a test which builds a netinst image potentially with
the package(s) from the update, and uploads that image. It also
adds a test which runs a default install using that image. This
is intended to check whether the update breaks the creation or
use of install images; particularly this will let us test
anaconda etc. updates. We also update the minimal disk image
name, as we have to make it bigger to accommodate this test,
and making it bigger changes its name - the actual change to
the disk image itself is in createhdds. We also have to redo a
bunch of installer needles for F28 fonts, after I removed them
a month or so back...

This adds a new test intended to just check boot chain things
for updates. It doesn't run any test modules besides the stock
update ones, but sets a variable, ADVISORY_BOOT_TEST, which
causes _advisory_update to do some additional stuff after
installing the updates but before rebooting: it forces regen
of the initramfs and bootloader config, and reinstalls the
bootloader on BIOS (not UEFI as it's not relevant). If the
following boot fails, we probably have a bug somewhere.

Since we set up this whole process to run upgrade tests for
updates to run the FreeIPA ones on the Server base image, it
should be easy to also run Workstation upgrade tests on the
Workstation base image. So let's do that! Let's do the most
complex test only, the encrypted upgrade one.

This adds the FreeIPA server and client upgrade tests to a new
updates-server-upgrade flavor which fedora_openqa will schedule
for updates. This way, we can test whether updates break
FreeIPA upgrades, which is a request the FreeIPA team made to
me. This has been deployed on staging for the last week or so
and appears to work fine.

Only support "updates-server" flavor
do not support "updates-workstation" neither "updates-kde"

These tests don't work right at all at present: they don't test
the update at all, they just boot the base image and run the
test, which is stupid.
I looked into various ways of fixing this but it's messy and I
don't think it can work properly without a lot of hacking. Even
if we get the test to do 'the right thing' - boot, set up the
update repo, update, reboot, do the test prep, reboot again, do
the actual test - I don't think it'll be quite a valid test,
because I think any AVCs or crashes that happen *before* the
update is installed will still appear as notifications when the
test finally does log into the desktop. So the test can fail
even if there are no post-update crashes or AVCs, I think.
I decided to give up on trying to make this test work properly
for now and just disable it. We can come back to it later if we
have great ideas and/or lots of time...
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.
