# koji-osuild - Koji and OSBuild integration
## CHANGES WITH 1:
* Initial implementation of three plugins for the koji
hub, the builder and command line client, which allows
images and other OS artifacts to be built in composer
via koji.
* The *command line client* gained an `osbuild-image`
sub-command that is very similar to `image-build`.
It internally uses the new hub plugin to make a XML-RPC
call, `osbuildImage` to request the building of a new
image or artifact.
* The *hub* plugin adds the `osbuildImage` XML-RPC method,
verifies the parameters and then creates a new task of
type `osbuildImage`.
* The *builder* plugin does most of the work by adding a
handler for `osbuildImage` tasks. It will use the new
koji API of osbuild-composer version 21 to request a
compose and wait until it is done. After a successful
build the result will be tagged into the destination
tag of the build target.
* An integration test suite was added to CI that checks
the end-to-end building of a cloud image on RHEL and
Fedora.
* Unit tests currently cover around 92% of the plugins.
* Detailed instructions on how to run a local test setup
are included in `HACKING.md`.
