Okay, I will review the proposed changes to the Zathras repository.

Code Review

Overview

This PR introduces two new command-line options: --no_pip_packages and --no_system_packages. These options allow users to disable the installation of pip and system packages, respectively. The changes primarily involve modifying the bin/burden script to handle these new options and passing them to the test execution phase via an Ansible variable.

Analysis

1. Code Quality and Maintainability:

   • The changes are relatively straightforward and follow the existing code structure in bin/burden.
   • The new options are added in a consistent manner with other existing options.
   • The usage message is updated to include the new options.
   • The Ansible task ansible_roles/roles/test_generic/tasks/main.yml is updated to pass the new options to the test execution script.

2. Potential Bugs or Security Issues:

   • There are no immediately apparent security issues.
   • It's important to ensure that the test wrappers correctly handle the absence of pip and system packages when these options are used. The wrappers should gracefully handle missing dependencies or provide informative error messages. This aspect isn't directly addressed in the provided diff, but it's a crucial consideration for overall functionality.
   • Consider adding some validation in bin/burden to make sure that there aren't any conflicting options. For example, if bootc_mode is enabled, then perhaps --no_system_packages is implicitly set.

3. Adherence to Project Conventions:

   • The changes generally adhere to the project's coding style and conventions.
   • The use of Ansible variables for passing the options is consistent with the existing approach.

4. Documentation Completeness:

   • The changes include updating the usage() function in bin/burden to document the new options.
   • The README.md should be updated with these new features.

Specific Feedback

• Good: The usage() function in bin/burden is updated to reflect the new command-line options.

• Concern: The test wrappers need to be able to handle the cases where these packages are not present. This isn't directly part of this diff but is a required consideration.

• Suggestion: Consider adding a check in bin/burden to ensure that --no_packages, --no_pip_packages, and --no_system_packages are mutually exclusive. If --no_packages is used, it should implicitly enable both --no_pip_packages and --no_system_packages. Conversely, if both --no_pip_packages and --no_system_packages are used, --no_packages should be ignored.

• Suggestion: Add a section to the README.md file documenting the new options and their impact on test execution. Also, add a section to the docs/command_line_reference.md file.

Example of adding the new options to the README.md file:

#### --no_pip_packages
Do not install pip packages. The default is no.

#### --no_system_packages
Do not install system packages (via dnf/apt/etc). The default is no.

Conclusion

The changes are well-structured and provide useful new functionality. However, it's crucial to ensure that the test wrappers are robust enough to handle the cases where pip and system packages are not installed.
