Note, we did do a limited version of this; I built a Rawhide installer image with Python 3.10 and ran a subset of openQA tests on it. We did not include the FreeIPA tests in that, which was a bit of an oversight; however, FreeIPA tests failed for an unrelated reason in the compose before the merge, so it wouldn't necessarily have turned up the issue anyway. We do have the ODCS - https://pagure.io/odcs , https://odcs.fedoraproject.org/composes/ - which we might be able to use to do this in a more comprehensive and organized way, but I haven't checked in on exactly what its capabilities are lately. I don't know if it's possible to request a compose "like Rawhide, but with this side tag" from it. We might also be able to get releng to hand-roll one, I guess. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
