Can you provide more details on the prerequisites for testing these
pkgs?
Do you just need to spin up an instance of Fedora <something> and then
execute specific scripts/commands?
Spinning up a version of fedora for a test client is part of what we
would need for this.
We would also need to configure that version of fedora to work with our
test runner, determine when to schedule the tests, figure out how to
handle the results and destroy the test client when we're done.
While I can think of ways to spin up test clients on demand and run
the scripts, I think that the biggest obstacles is making the tests play
nice with what we already have without more test-specific hacking. Just
handling the results would be a challenge until we have a central place
to put them. The amount of unsorted information coming out of AutoQA is
almost unmanageable as it is.
