Tests that build software
Regarding:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gobject-introspection/pull-request/3
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dbus-glib/pull-request/1#
I'm in favor of tests. The thing is, isn't the right test for -devel packages
whether *other existing packages* successfully build? For gobject-introspection,
we could trigger a build of *tons* of existing packages, and IMO that's a far
better test of whether things work than a completely artificial test case.
Also, why use "classic" for this instead of "container". Again in my
opinion,
*all* builds should be in a container. I don't have gcc on my host workstation:

But back to the bigger picture - I think this is a lack of integration between
"CI"
and "official builds". The *correct* test for whether a -devel package works
is whether or not the other software we ship builds and works.
