When I have time, I would run some tests. It is not a given that I (can) make time for it, and surely do not want the sole responsibility for it. As long as nobody else tests, the packages may stay in the testing repository indefinitely. It would be good to have a perseon (per major release?) that is heading the testing efforts. Fedora has it automated in their update process (Bodhi w/ karma), there is no such thing for CentOS SIGs. I do not know how it works for other distributions. > At present package maintainers seem to be the right people to state if the > packages are built fine, but if that is not possible then we need to discuss > this in the upcoming maintainers meeting and take an action. Building is one thing that is relatively simple. But that does not prove that the packages are actually functional, or that the required dependencies (might have changed) are available in the repositories. It is possible to automate test runs when the builds land in the testing repository. If we can decide on what tests should run, and pass, and who will maintain them, that would be a big help.
