Getting started

Overview

The plugin provides the following new features:

• a new subshell that can be started via osc qam that only accepts the new commands of this plugin.
• it adds command to help with the update workflow.
• to see a list of provided commands use osc qam help and to see what each command does just use osc qam help <command>.

For detailed information about common use cases see the :ref:`workflows`.

Installation

To install the plugin add the repository for your distribution from here: http://download.suse.de/ibs/QA:/Maintenance/

zypper ar -f http://download.suse.de/ibs/QA:/Maintenance/<distribution>/QA:Maintenance.repo
zypper in osc-plugin-qam

Currently supported distributions are:

• Tumbleweed
• Leap 15.x
• SLE 12-SP4+
• SLE 15.x

Usage

After the package is installed a new command is now available for osc: osc qam.

Note

The plugin is currently only useful for the internal buildservice. You should actually use your alias that uses https://api.suse.de or add the flag --apiurl=https://api.suse.de.

If you do not want to set an alias, you can configure osc to automatically default to the internal ibs api. Update your .oscrc [general] section:

[general]
apiurl = https://api.suse.de

Running the command without any further arguments will start an interactive session.

Note

When you are running a older version of osc (e.g. 0.148) then the readline-support is not working out-of-the-box. Please see :ref:`workarounds` to see how to still get it working.

Instead of running the commands in the interactive session it is also possible to just write out the complete command following the osc qam part:

The interactive command sequence to list open requests:

osc qam
osc-qam> list

The single command to list open requests:

osc qam list
