===================================================================== General Announcements * DPDK Userspace: Sept 12-13 in Dublin Ireland - Gibson Hotel * Email based retesting framework * Ali will upgrade to Patchwork 3.1 following the 23.07 release, which includes two new category options on the /events API, cover-comment-created and patch-comment-created. Comment content can be extracted after fetching the event, and then processed. * Should labs fetch events when a category is cover-comment-created or patch-comment-created, or both? * Fine to retest the existing dpdk tarball “as-is” as opposed to re-applying on the latest git tree and making a new dpdk tarball * In situations where the tree is in a bad state, being able to re-apply on latest tree is a big improvement * Can make applying to latest dpdk and retesting part of a v2 of retesting framework * There should be a way of monitoring the test results posted to patchwork so that if there are tests missing, an alert can be sent to the lab (and possibly others) * This can catch email based issues and also reporting bugs from labs * Query patchwork for patches older than 24 hours and check for all expected test results missing * Ali is going to create a ci mailing list project on Patchwork
===================================================================== CI Status
--------------------------------------------------------------------- UNH-IOL Community Lab * Added automatic json web token refresh functionality to our fips acvp_tool.py. When the NIST API is serving requests unusually slowly (because of load, or whatever reason) it is possible for your existing jwt to expire during a single test run. By renewing the jwt as needed, this issue is resolved * This is in production at UNH and a patch to update the upstream is submitted to the ci mailing list * The first set of NIC shipments have arrived, which are the Intel E810s. We plan to begin reporting results from these NICs after the 23.07 release. * We have been laying the groundwork for the retesting framework by: * Creating test groups and a jenkins script which can trigger retests of specific tests based on patchwork contexts/labels * Adding a reporting stage to every individual test, instead of relying on “earlier in the ci process” monolithic report stages which wait on completion of all individual tests before sending a single report * Setting up script to parse comments and trigger subsets of a ci run accordingly * Requesting reviews on the UNH’s templated container image build system
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions * No major news, but working with a new intern on setting up new internal processes (like retesting)
===================================================================== DTS Improvements & Test Development * Jeremy has provided acks/reviews for patches on the 23.07 roadmap * Jeremy submitted a v1 of his smoke test patch series - this is now “complete” * How to deal with overlap on patches between smoke tests and tg abstraction. Use depends-on or include the same overlapping code between both patches - went with the 2nd option. * Some more work and a new version of tg abstraction will be getting submitted soon
===================================================================== Any other business * Next meeting is Jul 6, 2023
