GSoC: Week 1-2


 


Hello again! It's been two weeks since the GSoC coding period officially began. 馃槉
The first week was mainly spent familiarizing myself with the rpmlint environment and establish a first contact with my mentor.

After two sessions with my mentor, the first task to be carried out will be to replace binary rpm (located in test/binary), which are used only to test simple functions, with FakePkg with metadata and files.
This way, it is possible to remove the number of binaries and it will be easier to understand what the tests are doing. An example is shown below:

For example, in the "test_tmp_files.py" file we initially find the following code:




and after modifying it, it will be as follows:



The content of "TMPFILES" has been defined in a mock file to show greater readability and clarity in the code:



As you can see, I have to make use of this helper function "get_tested_mock_package", defined in the "Testing.py" file:



This is what I have been doing so far. In the following sections of the blog I will comment on my progress in the project.
See you soon! 馃憢

Hi there!馃憢 I'm Luz Marina, a third-year student of Computer Engineering, who would like to learn as much as possible about the different branches covered by this career for my professional future. About me 馃懁 So you can get to know a little bit about me, m y interest in this career arose during compulsory secondary education, where I had a computer science subject. Apart from what I am taught in my degree, thanks to the wide range of online educational resources, such as courses, tutorials and online communities, I try to expand my knowledge and skills in different areas of computer science. In addition, I consider myself a person with teamwork skills. Currently 馃敍 This year, I've been selected for the GSoC to work with OpenSuse Tumbleweed linux.  The main goal of the project is to reduce the number of .rpm binaries in the repository and replace the tests with mocks and extend the test suite to increase code coverage. In addition, an improvement of the tests and correction of

GSoC: Week 3-4

  Hello!! I am back again with another GSoC report. In this blog post I will share what I worked on the 3rd and 4th week of Google Summer of Code!馃槃 After talking to my mentor, we decided to replace the simpler-looking binary files with FakePkg with metadata and files, similar to how I discussed in the previous post, to leave the more complicated ones for last.  Therefore, some of these files are: - test_sysvinitonsystemd  - test_pam_modules  - test_pkgconfig  - test_menuxdg  - test_mixed_ownership  - test_LSB  Looking ahead to the next few weeks, the goal is to focus on the development of more complex tests, so if you are interested don't miss the following blog posts!  See you soon!馃憢
