I would say approx ~30% of test codebase could be reused, but this is just my personal estimation. > What are the differences, in features and building blocks expected for a > gentoo implementation? I don't see any big changes in the structure - rather of writing tests that suits more on our needs. But baby steps, i would be happy to see for now a test that from a stage3 bootstraps a DE environment correctly. What i see will be more complicated is trying to abstract tests that expect different results from different useflags combinations. > > >> Development plan and goals will be updated to the Project page soon [3] >> >> >> What do you think? >> >> > That's a difficult objective worth the effort to achieve it I definitely agree > > >> Best, >> >> Ettore >> >> >> 1: http://open.qa/ >> >> 2: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/600283 >> >> 3: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:OpenQA >> >> >>
