Hello,
What types of tests does the CentOS Development Team do for software in its repositories?
Where does it get its test catalog from?
I want to create a testing process which is equal to if not more rigorous that the CentOS process for any third party software we use.
For example, if I install the php-mysqlnd package from the Remi repository, I want to test it just as carefully as the php-mysql package has been tested before I get it from the CentOS repository.
If somebody can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
this is something that comes up quite a bit - and it would be good to work on something from the project side so everyone can benefit.
the common ground is to build up enough of a test scenario that we can ue that to build confidence in external repos, and something that gives the repo admins a target to achieve 'good practice' standards.
Lets start with the most obvious place : what problem are you looking to solve ?
