Install and configure AutoQA

This page details installing and configuring an AutoQA server. AutoQA is currently packaged for Fedora and EPEL, but due to library dependencies, the package is not yet available for Fedora. The following section describes how to install AutoQA.

Use the Right Repo

Configure the system to receive updates from the the AutoQA package repository. To use the AutoQA package repository, download the appropriate repository file listed below.

• For Fedora, execute the command: wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/fedora-qa/autoqa/fedora-autoqa.repo
• Otherwise, for EPEL, execute the command: wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/fedora-qa/autoqa/epel-autoqa.repo

Package Install

Finally, with yum repositories configured, use the yum command to install AutoQA and its dependencies.

yum install autoqa

Configure AutoQA

All the configuration files are stored in /etc/autoqa/. They are well documented, edit them and adjust the settings to your needs. Available config files:

• autoqa.conf - main config file
• fas.conf - config file with FAS credentials, used for services that require FAS authentication (like Bodhi)

Configure Cron

On the server you will want to periodically run AutoQA watchers, which will execute corresponding tests. We have prepared a cron file for these purposes, you can install it by:

cp /usr/share/autoqa/autoqa.cron /etc/cron.d/

If you think that some watcher should be run more or less frequently (or you want to disable some of them completely), just edit the installed cron file.
