QA:Testcase Debranding

!!! info "Associated release criterion" This test case is associated with the Release_Criteria - Debranding release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.

Description

The Rocky Linux Release Engineering Team builds and maintains tools to manage the debranding of packages received from the upstream vendor. They have published a comprehensive debranding guide and maintain a list of packages requiring debranding patches.

This testcase will verify that all packages available on released media that Rocky Linux Release Engineering has identified as requiring debranding are debranded successfully per their specification.

Setup

Obtain access to an environment with the dnf, and koji commands and access to Rocky Linux Gitlab and Rocky Linux Koji
Download the ISO to be tested to test machine.
Configure /etc/koji.conf to access the Rocky Linux Koji.
Download a recent copy the patch.yml from Rocky Linux Gitlab.

!!! info "patch.yml" Packages listed in patch.yml are names of source RPMs. Binary RPMs containing content produced by building the patched source RPMs need to be validated. The easiest way to get the list of all possible binary RPMs for a particular package and arch is to ask obtain that information in koji.

How to test

Mount the ISO to be tested locally.

Example:

$ mount -o loop Rocky-8.5-x86_64-dvd1.iso /media

Determine the path(s) to the repodata directory(ies) on the ISO.
- Example:
```
$ find /media -name repodata
```

For each package to be validated get the names of the noarch and <arch> specific packages created from it.

Example:

$ koji --quiet latest-build --arch=x86_64 dist-rocky8-compose <package>
$ koji --quiet latest-build --arch=noarch dist-rocky8-compose <package>

Use dnf to obtain the paths to the binary packages requiring debranding.

Example:

$ dnf download --urls --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS \
    --repofrompath Minimal,/media/Minimal --repo Minimal \
    <binary_package>

Copy the <binary_package> from the media and examine it's metadata and/or contents to determine if it has obviously been patched.
- Example:
```
$ rpm -q --changelog -p <path_to_binary_package> | head | \
    grep "Release Engineering <releng@rockylinux.org>" -C2 | \
    grep -Eq "<pattern_to_find>"

$ rpm2cpio <path_to_binary_package> |
    cpio --quiet --extract --to-stdout .<file_to_examine> | \
    grep -Eq "<pattern_to_find>"
```
!!! info "NOTE" Note all debranding patches will patch files directly and leave very obvious traces, some patches don't even add changelog messages to use as an indicator that the package has been patched or debranded. Sometimes the only solution is to extract the binary package and examine the contents directly to find something to test.
Unmount the ISO.
- Example:
```
$ umount /media
```

Expected Results

Packages tracked by Release Engineering as requiring debranding and published on installation media are, in fact, debranded per their specification.
