okurz: Up to 2021-09-29 this project included a link to the qemu package from openSUSE:Leap:15.1 (yes 15.1! even though we use 15.2 at the time of writing) which caused an old incompatible version of qemu 3 to be installed causing problems as reported in
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/98952

Dedicated test project for openQA-devel installability verification (openQA-devel-test).

Background & Motivation:
openQA-devel pulls in all build, check, and test requirements for openQA development, including chromedriver and chromium for Selenium tests. Upstream chromium rebuilds take significant time and frequently leave openQA-devel-test in a 'blocked' state.

When openQA-devel-test was built inside devel:openQA via _multibuild, its blocked state prevented repository publication of devel:openQA (state="blocked"), causing:
1. openqa-auto-update.service on production instances (e.g. o3 / openqa.opensuse.org) to fail when openqa-check-devel-repo checks repository status.
2. Fleet rollouts and osd-deployment pipelines to be blocked.

By isolating openQA-devel-test into this sub-project (which builds against binaries published by devel:openQA), installability of development dependencies is continuously tested without blocking production package publication and deployments.

This project is used by pipelines on http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/ . In particular http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/job/trigger-openQA_in_openQA-TW/ that "releases" packages from devel:openQA into here and triggers openQA tests.

As workaround to manually trigger the testing+submission workflow ensure that no jenkins pipelines are running and no tests in https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/24, delete all packages in this project and trigger http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/job/trigger-openQA_in_openQA-TW/
