if an update is there to fix something, it does not mean that one can or
will test it completely (special hardware might be required). In this
case it is still interesting to know, whether it installs cleanly or
not. And testing whether it updates cleanly can still be done
intentionally, even when the package is not used. Just taking a look at
the output of "yum --enablerepo=*-testing update" is enough for this.
I thought the plan was to have AutoQA verify that packages install cleanly.
Isn't it better to automate such simple checks and save human resources for
the things that can't be automated? Or do you think even just installing
updates is too complex to be tested automatically?
