Why ? During my daily job I have sometimes to debug failed openqa test jobs. One of the testing mantra is to reproduce the issue and for that task the openqa community has developed some tooling. In practice, I often have some output like this one below from some job cloning operations: Cloning parents of sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425390 Cloning parents of sle-15-SP5-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP5-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425391 Cloning parents of sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425392 And when I want to monitor those jobs, I’d need to copy-paste all the job URLs and pass them as arguments to the cool openqa-mon utility which will show and notify me of the job status in the terminal. ...

🎄 Intro After a very interesting and fun SUSE hackweek, as every December since some years, I took part to Advent of Code. First of all, I wish to thank Eric Wastl because he’s giving us every year a great and unforgettable advent-ure. [image source: Reddit u/edo360 ] ✨ What’s Advent of Code ? More than just a countdown to Christmas, AoC is a joyful game that invites developers of all age and levels to sharpen their problem-solving abilities and coding skills. Like a virtual advent calendar, AoC presents a new programming puzzle each day from December 1st to 25th. These puzzles are often deceptively simple at first glance, but they quickly unfold into intricate challenges requiring clever algorithms and efficient code. ...

The Linux Test Project (LTP) began as a collaborative effort between SGI, OSDL, and Bull. Today, it lives with the joint contributions of industry leaders including IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle, and others. Its mission remains clear: providing the open source community with comprehensive tests that verify Linux’s reliability, robustness, and stability. 🕸️ ...
