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.
Thanks! David

First, I guess this question would be more suitable for the devel list than for the users list, but that's just my opinion :)
Second: You have to keep in mind that you would want to apply also all upstream tests.
This means it would be best to read up on the fedora packaging and testing guidelines.
I don't know if red hat has published their intern guidelines for RHEL development (I'm sure there are some).

Thanks Sven. You're probably right. I'll move this to the devel list.
I've created the following thread on the centos-devel list http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2015-January/012599.html
