[PATCH v1 28/33] gitlab: introduce a common base job template |
Date: |
Fri, 27 May 2022 16:35:58 +0100 |
From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
Currently job rules are spread across the various templates
and jobs, making it hard to understand exactly what runs in
what scenario. This leads to inconsistency in the rules and
increased maint burden.
The intent is that we introduce a common '.base_job_template'
which will have a general purpose 'rules:' block. No other
template or job should define 'rules:', but instead they must
rely on the inherited rules. To allow behaviour to be tweaked,
rules will be influenced by a number of variables with the
naming scheme 'QEMU_JOB_nnnn'.

+Variable naming and grouping
+----------------------------
+
+The variables used by QEMU's CI configuration are grouped together
+in a handful of namespaces
+
+ * QEMU_JOB_nnnn - variables to be defined in individual jobs
+ or templates, to influence the shared rules defined in the
+ .base_job_template.
+
+ * QEMU_CI_nnn - variables to be set by contributors in their
+ repository CI settings, or as git push variables, to influence
+ which jobs get run in a pipeline
+
+ * nnn - other misc variables not falling into the above
+ categories, or using different names for historical reasons
+ and not yet converted.

+Maintainer controlled job variables

+The following variables may be set when defining a job in the
