Do you have any ideas what those package specific checks could be? Because all I can think of is running some test suite which can't be used during build time in Koji, but we have nothing like that in our own packages, we would have to find and use some other package (and study and write a wrapper for that suite). > > - See if there are any existing test cases which would automate easily. Not sure if you mean release validation test cases, but we can most probably rule them out, because they all require testing with that specific TC/RC (or an installed system that matches those package versions), which we can't offer at the moment - not without nested virt or some heavy modifications in the environment setup process. So I guess you mean package test cases (everything that starts with "Package "): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Cases And this is really a great idea. I have went through all of those test cases and the following seem simple enough and easily automated: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ClamAV https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Django_smoketest https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_HTTPd https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_MySQL https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_clone_distgit_repository https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_download_upstream_sources https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_build_from_distgit_with_mock https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Rkhunter I think that picking one of them could be a nice demonstration of what we are aiming for with Taskotron. The only downside is that we would be showing them something they still can't do themselves (since we're not still open to arbitrary third-party task submissions, nor we support storing tasks in distgit-like system). But as a demonstration of what is hopefully coming in a reasonably close future, I think this would serve well. _______________________________________________ qa-devel mailing list qa-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/qa-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
