Problem
SL Micro test images in IBS project systemsmanagement:sumaform:images:microos are rebuilt too frequently (often daily), which causes all available patches to be pre-applied during the build. This leaves no patches available for testing patch installation in smoke tests.
Impact
- Patch installation tests fail on SL Micro 6.0 and 6.2
- Cannot validate patch mechanism functionality
- Requires test workarounds (package downgrade/re-patch)

Proposed Solution
Reduce automatic rebuild frequency for stable SL Micro versions in IBS:
- Current: Rebuilds on every upstream package change (daily)
- Proposed: Weekly or bi-weekly scheduled rebuilds
This allows patches to accumulate between builds, enabling proper testing of patch installation.
IBS Project
Alternative Solutions
-
Maintain two image variants:
slmicro62o-stable - rebuilt weekly for testing
slmicro62o-latest - rebuilt on every change for development
-
Disable automatic rebuild triggers for stable versions
