By default, stdout/stderr Avocado test log files do not have any file extension which confuses GitLab's web UI to mangle the MIME type for these and so the browser will never offer the option to open such file from in a text editor rather than dowloading it. Since GitLab sets a proper MIME for .txt and .log file extensions, rename all Avocado log files without an extension to *.log . This pairs nicely with the coredumpctl info file which we already name as 'coredumpctl.txt' because of this. Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

CI for libvirt
This document provides some information related to the CI capabilities for the libvirt project.
Cirrus CI integration
libvirt currently supports three non-Linux operating systems: Windows, FreeBSD and macOS. Windows cross-builds can be prepared on Linux by using MinGW, but for both FreeBSD and macOS we need to use the actual operating system, and unfortunately GitLab shared runners are currently not available for either.
To work around this limitation, we take advantage of Cirrus CI's free offering: more specifically, we use the cirrus-run script to trigger Cirrus CI jobs from GitLab CI jobs so that the workaround is almost entirely transparent to users and there's no need to constantly check two separate CI dashboards.
There is, however, some one-time setup required. If you want FreeBSD and macOS builds to happen when you push to your GitLab repository, you need to
set up a GitHub repository for the project, eg.
yourusername/libvirt. This repository needs to exist for cirrus-run to work, but it doesn't need to be kept up to date, so you can create it and then forget about it;enable the Cirrus CI GitHub app for your GitHub account;
sign up for Cirrus CI. It's enough to log into the website using your GitHub account;
grab an API token from the Cirrus CI settings page;
it may be necessary to push an empty
.cirrus.ymlfile to your github fork for Cirrus CI to properly recognize the project. You can check whether Cirrus CI knows about your project by navigating to:https://cirrus-ci.com/yourusername/libvirtin the CI/CD / Variables section of the settings page for your GitLab repository, create two new variables:
CIRRUS_GITHUB_REPO, containing the name of the GitHub repository created earlier, eg.yourusername/libvirt;CIRRUS_API_TOKEN, containing the Cirrus CI API token generated earlier. This variable must be marked as Masked, because anyone with knowledge of it can impersonate you as far as Cirrus CI is concerned.
Neither of these variables should be marked as Protected, because in general you'll want to be able to trigger Cirrus CI builds from non-protected branches.
Once this one-time setup is complete, you can just keep pushing to your GitLab repository as usual and you'll automatically get the additional CI coverage.
Coverity scan integration
This will be used only by the main repository for master branch by running scheduled pipeline in GitLab.
The service is proved by Coverity Scan and requires that the project is registered there to get free coverity analysis which we already have for libvirt project.
To run the coverity job it requires two new variables:
COVERITY_SCAN_PROJECT_NAME, containing the libvirt project name.COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN, token visible to admins of libvirt project
