Plugin for supportutils which gathers log files and other useful state from SUSE Enterprise Storage systems.
The master branch is where development for the latest SES version happens. Right now (2022-09-28), that's SES7.1. Any functionality needed for SES7.1 should thus go straight into master. If it's also needed for SES7, it should be cherry picked from master to the ses7 branch. Likewise SES6 to the ses6 branch. If some change is only applicable for an older release, it's fine to just do the work straight in the relevant branch.
The file ses-rpm-list includes a list of SUSE Enterprise Storage RPMs, which
we run rpm -V against. This needs to be kept up to date with the packages
shipped in each SES release. To do this, mount the relevant SES DVD image,
then run ./update-rpm-list.sh /path/to/ses/media, check to ensure
ses-rpm-list looks sane, then commit that change.
supportutils-plugin-ses is packaged as an RPM. Maintenance of the spec file
and changelogs happens in IBS with changelogs auto-generated from git commits.
There's a Makefile in IBS to help with packaging, so once you've checked out
the supportutils-plugin-ses package from IBS, running make will pull in the
latest updates from the appropriate github branch, then it's just
isc ar ; isc ci to commit the change to the IBS project. Do check the
changelog though and ensure it looks clean, and tweak if necessary. For
example, you can safely delete entries that are uninteresting to users
of supportconfig, such as "Further tweaks to README.md".
For local development, it can be helpful to run so the plugin doesn't need to be installed locally or modified manually for local development and testing.
