Bug 1694019

LIBREPO is a library that is tightly bound with LIBDNF and DNF. After the last release there are several changes in code that requires changes in other related components, but not all relationships could be easily identified. With backporting only particular features DNF team cannot ensure 100% functionality and there is a high risk of problems in the stability or in incomplete functionality.

Jardo,
according to your judgement, would any of those changes deserve specific tests to be created, either because these are new features or risky changes? I can see there are already many tests among the commits.

I believe that behavior or new futures will be covered by tests developed for other bugzillas or by current test set.

Could you be more specific? What are the other bugzillas? I don't see any other libcomps bug for 8.1.

Sorry, My previous comment 5 is completely incorrect.

We have many tests that test librepo functionality indirectly like any tests that uses conf files, downloading repository data and downloading packages.

Is it what you searched for?

OK, let me start over.

My question is: Is there any change or newly introduce feature that would (according to your opinion) deserve extra testing? I am not speaking about regression testing with already existing tests but if there is a need to create new tests for any of the changes in the changelog. I didn't find any other librepo bug for RHEL-8.1 so I am curious whether any of the new features is actually important for us, maybe they are important for features tracked for other components.

For the single commit marked as MEDIUM priority: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/librepo/commit/26679ac757931c9cdeffc5dc96284bcafa9a246c

The commit fixes appending paths to URLs (e.g. baseurl) that have http arguments (the arguments following a '?'). The path needs to be inserted before the question mark.

We've agreed with Jan Blazek that regular librepo repodata/package downloading is covered in the CI stack and it is sufficient to cover this special case in upstream librepo's unit tests.

PR for librepo unit tests: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/librepo/pull/163

I've also verified manually that using a baseurl with arguments was broken before the aforementioned commit and is working now.
