Thanks @shipperizer for the review request! @mmkay can you please help with this review? You can go through and tick off the items on the checklist available here and post the result in this thread. This prior listing request could be an example of how to go about it.

One section of the review criteria needs improvement:

Charmhub page:

What’s missing:

  • A more detailed description page. Project’s README.md already has the description and integration guide: https://github.com/canonical/glauth-utils - this should appear as well on the charmhub page
  • Link to the github project and contributing guidelines in the charmhub page
  • Improvements on the apply-ldif action wording: https://charmhub.io/glauth-utils/actions - minor grammar fixes plus it’s unclear what does this action do. Once the description is here, it might become more clear.

Full review results:

* The name complies with the naming guidelines.
* The publisher is identified.
* The links are provided.
* The documentation looks reasonable.
Source repository Generally, the source code for charms must be accessible by the community for transparency and collaboration. It is not entirely mandatory to have the charm published as OSS for review, but the repository must be accessible from the persons working on the review request.
Coding conventions The source code of the charm is accessible in the sense of approachability. Consistent source code style and formatting are also considered a sign of being committed to quality. The implemented checks for coding conventions are reasonable and implemented in the regular CI/CD implementation.
Release automation implementation An implementation for automated releasing to charmhub.io improves the ability to provide updates covering vulnerabilities quickly. Release automation for unstable channels to enable testing when new versions of the charm code or the workload become available.
Unit tests implementation In particular, for the charms review, assuring a reasonable test suite is essential to allow for automated releases in future. The unit tests show relevant coverage. It is a case-dependent review.At the time of review, the test runs successfully.
Unit tests results Availability of test results is mandatory for a working collaborative project. URL to test results from CI/CD automation.
Installation test implemented (could be part of the integration test) In particular, for the charm review, assuring a reasonable test suite is essential to allow for automated releases in future. With this test, for every build, it is ensured that the installation is successful. An implementation for checking the installation is present. The implementation should also check for successful installation as part of the automation, and the workload behaves as expected. At the time of review, the test runs successfully.

Hi @mmkay, sorry for going AWOL, we have currently some issues with the integration tests due to an unexpected change in an underlying charm lib Merge pull request #11 from canonical/IAM-837 · canonical/glauth-utils@a9ef184 · GitHub

docs have been updated to reflect the suggestions, we just need to be able to publish them via our workflows, which as said, is currently blocked
