Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for cockpit-project/bots. Focused on expanding test coverage across Fedora 43 and RHEL/CentOS 9 families, enhancing regression detection, and strengthening test environment fidelity to improve release readiness and reduce risk. Key actions included delivering expanded Fedora 43 test coverage (cockpit tests, storage scenarios, naughty tests, and reliability improvements for image/setup), extending test maps for RHEL 9.x and CentOS 9, enriching KVP regression/test patterns, updating boot image dependencies to enable LVM2 testing, and broadening naughty test coverage across platforms (PMProxy and Ubuntu 24.04). These efforts collectively improved test accuracy, reduced image churn, and broadened cross-platform reliability. This month also reinforced our CI reliability by aligning test maps with upstream changes and adding coverage for new branches and platforms, enabling earlier detection of regressions and faster feedback to development teams.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for cockpit-project/bots. Delivered reliability and test-coverage enhancements for RHEL-based builds and multi-version validation. Key features included fixes to RHEL build and repository configuration to ensure correct build roots for RHEL 8.8, removal of brittle hard-coded minor-version suffixes, and a corrected bootstrap image URL. The test matrix was expanded to support RHEL 10.1 and RHEL 9.7/10.1 across c-podman, cockpit, and subscription-manager tests, with cleanup of obsolete contexts and the introduction of a curl TLS test pattern plus an allowlist update. Major bugs fixed include the RHEL 8.8 build-root misconfiguration, and the reversal of an obsolete RHEL 10 kernel FIPS patch. Overall impact: more stable builds, faster CI feedback, and expanded validation for upcoming RHEL releases, reducing maintenance overhead. Demonstrated technologies/skills include Bash scripting, image/bootstrap/configuration management, test-matrix automation, cross-repo coordination, and test-pattern development.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 — Cockpit Bots: Delivered two core features that strengthen CI/infrastructure and stabilize test environments, delivering clear business value through higher reliability and faster feedback. Key outcomes include expanded Fedora test coverage (41-43) with libvirt regression patterns and cleaned test configurations to reflect current supported environments, plus stabilization of Fedora CoreOS test images and runtime by pre-installing glib-networking and migrating to official CentOS-10 weekly cloud images. Addressed a critical regression by fixing criu vDSO bounds (#7145) and removed obsolete Fedora-40 artifacts to prevent flaky tests. Overall impact: more reliable CI, tighter alignment with supported platforms, and a smoother release cadence. Technologies demonstrated: Fedora CI/test infra, libvirt, test pattern design and matching, container/image management, CentOS-10 cloud images, glib-networking, and Git-based workflows.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 – Cockpit bots delivered major image alignment, Cockpit WS container support, and stability improvements across Fedora/RHEL platforms, delivering business value by reducing image-build failures and expanding platform coverage. Key actions included dropping Fedora 39 in favor of Fedora 41 cloud images (mock from EPEL 10 for image builds), adding Cockpit WS container runtime detection for RHEL 8–10, and pruning the test-results database automatically in Run-Queue while fixing stat calls. Strengthened CI/test stability with updated test maps/kits for ws-container and cockpit tests; updated boot image metadata (GECOS) and upgraded boot images; stabilized Grafana/FreeIPA containers; and implemented SELinux/workaround patterns for RHEL 10 regressions with safe reverts to avoid AVC/denial issues. These efforts increased support breadth, improved reliability, and accelerated validation across the image build and container runtime stack.
