Taskotron Task: rpmgrill

This is a task for taskotron. It runs the rpmgrill tool on downloaded packages and formats the results in YAML messages.

The rpmgrill tool contains a number of plugins that each analyze some different aspect of the built rpm. We perform one run of the tool, but report multiple results back to resultsdb, one for each plugin.

While it can be run standalone, it is designed to be executed by the Taskotron.

Running the task locally

Execute the following command as root (don't do this on a production machine!):

$ ansible-playbook tests.yml -e taskotron_item=<NVR>

and replace <NVR> with a Koji build NVR.

For example:

$ ansible-playbook tests.yml -e taskotron_item=tlog-4-1.fc27

You can see the results in ./artifacts/ directory.

Running the task through libtaskotron

runtask --item tlog-4-1.fc27 --type koji_build task-rpmgrill/

Don't forget to use --ssh or --libvirt, otherwise you need to run this as root (not recommended).
