Actually, I can imagine, that for testing Ruby on Rails/Gnome, I will 
have "test-ruby-on-rails" RPM in dist gist, which in post install hook 
will run the integration tests. This would allow us to leverage our 
dist-git infrastructure and detach the integration tests from specific 
RPM. On the other hand, we would probably need some dedicated tag in 
Koji to avoid mixing the test cases with the rest of distribution.

Just thinking loud ... ;)
