Jenkins Outage Resolved
by Jim Bair
A heads up that we encountered an issue this morning (US time) with our
Jenkins instance:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8926
Restarting and relocating Jenkins within the openshift cluster solved our
NFS cluster - I also restarted a handful of failures that I could find, but
then jobs starting rolling in, so I left Jenkins to do it's thing.
If any tests or jobs are missing from the NFS outage, restarting the job
should resume and run as expected. If not, please let us know in #fedora-ci
on freenode.

Adding OpenID To Jenkins Tomorrow
by Jim Bair
I wanted to send out a note that tomorrow, we will be adding OpenID support
to our jenkins instance for Fedora to allow for FAS ID Logins. We don't
expect any downtime with the change, but if we accidentally lock ourselves
out (always a possibility), we may need to reboot/make changes to recover.
If that happens, we'll ensure any missed tests get triggered as expected.

'symlinks' inspection now in rpminspect
by David Cantrell
The issue filed:
https://github.com/rpminspect/rpminspect/issues/133
I bumped up priority on this one to get something usable for Fedora CI and
others quickly. The 'symlinks' inspection is now present. Here's what it
does:
* Checks all symlinks present in the 'after' build. If you are comparing two
builds, that's the second build. If you are just running rpminspect against
a single build, it's that build.
* For each symlink found:
- Read the destination and see if it exists in any subpackage in the
build. If it does not exist, report the dangling symlink as VERIFY
- For symlinks with too many levels of redirection (ELOOP), report it
as dangling with the strerror() output on ELOOP as the details.
- If a symlink found was a directory in the before build, report this
change as BAD. This is a limitation of rpm and we want rpminspect
to guard against packages doing it.
- If any non-directory in the before build became a symlink in the
after build, report that as a VERIFY.
And that's about it. The trick here is that we permit symlink source and
destinations to span subpackages, so we cannot rely on readlink(3) and
realpath(3) in the code. Absolute symlinks are easy enough to deal with, but
what I do for relative symlinks is manually resolve the destination. I have
tested what I am doing with things like ncurses builds and debuginfo packages
and things with lots of symlinks and everything is resolving correctly.
Valgrind reports 0 bytes lost. Hooray!
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
* Please test the latest rpminspect available in Copr:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dcantrell/rpminspect/
* You can reduce what inspections rpminspect runs with the -T option, so you
could do:
rpminspect -T symlinks NVR
* Run single build inspections but also build comparisons. Use Koji build
NVRs and rpminspect will fetch them.
* Report problems on the rpminspect Github project page. Please open new
issues rather than piling on to a single issue. It makes things easier for
me.
Thanks,
