I met with Podman folks yesterday and we decided to do Podman Test Days for every minor release. The upcoming one is 5.1 and we are going to have a test day on 2023-05-23.
Kudos to @lsm5 and @mohanboddu for all the support!
@sumantrom thanks for filing this. For 5.1, we'd like to include testing for composefs and zstd:chunked . cc @dwalsh
@dwalsh @lsm5, I would like to get idea of what the testcase might look like for those two.. also best if you can give issues?
zstd:chunked
Configure zstd:chunked in containers.conf as default format.
Build a container, push it to a registry.
Run it with an older version of Podman or Docker.
Update the image with another package and then squash the image. podman build --squash-all ...
Push it to the registry.
Remove the image from local storage and pull it from the registry. You should see a lot of savings on pull.
For composefs it is only enabled in rootful mode. Modify storage.conf to enable it.
sudo sh # podman system reset # podman run ....
Run a bunch of containers and make sure stuff is working fine.
@lsm5 @dwalsh I have written down the test case. I would love if you guys can review once
zstd:chunked https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_podman_zstd:chunked
composefs : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_podman_composefs
@gscrivano PTAL as well.
Can you tell me if the Test cases are reviewed?
@sumantrom yes, the test cases are correct
if we are testing every minor release we should make sure all the version numbers are correct. I just edited the wiki page for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_podman_save_load. It said 4.9 >5.0 instead of 5.0>5.1. Messed with my brain for a second when I was doing the test. lol
If its ok with yall I'll start checking that version numbers and stuff are correct and update them.
