Problem

From time to time an issue is reported because some missing dependency in the Agama live image (many times related to missing storage packages). Moreover, Agama depencencies are directly added to the ISO kiwi file, forcing to all our live images to include that list of packages. Agama should requires its own dependencies instead on relying on the live iso to provide them.

Solution

• Collect a list of Agama dependencies by inspecting the packages included by YaST installation images, the kiwi files and the storage features used by yast2-storage-ng:
  • https://github.com/openSUSE/installation-images/blob/master/obs/installation-images.spec
  • https://github.com/openSUSE/installation-images/blob/master/data/root/root.file_list
  • https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement:Agama:Staging/agama-live
  • https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/src/lib/y2storage/storage_feature.rb
• Add dependencies directly to the Agama spec files.
• Remove Agama dependencies from kiwi files:
  • https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/systemsmanagement:Agama:Staging/agama-live?linkrev=base&rev=26
  • https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/systemsmanagement:Agama:Devel/agama-live?linkrev=base&rev=9
• Add dependencies to setup scripts.
• Install required depedencies for CI tasks.

Notes:

• Right now both the setup scripts and the spec files contain almost the same list of packages. They should be unified.
• For CI tasks not all dependencies are installed, but only the required dependencies for running the tasks (e.g., unit tests).
• Agama live imagein IBS is not updated. It will be done when submitting a new Agama version to IBS.
