Replying to [comment:11 mattdm]:
I don't think we '''need''' a fast-updates-testing. In these cases, the
testing is almost always done by people grabbing unpushed builds from koji.
It does not only allow to test updates but also to test the fast-updates distribution system, because if it is rarely used, it might be broken without some noticing until it is needed.
I guess it doesn't _hurt_, and might make it easier for people to test
("yum --enablerepo=fast-testing install foopackage" instead of following the individual koji links). What would cause the packages to move from fast-updates-testing to fast-updates? Could that happen automatically with bodhi karma?
In the beginning it would be manual. But since the repo should be available within 20 minutes testing can happen fast and it should be ok to create the testing repo, wait a little for testers feedback and then create the stable repo.
The fedmsg / createrepo reactor should probably test for properly-signed
RPMs just to be safe.
Yes, but this is also something that is noticed if testers use the testing repo to install the RPMs.
