+1 for this. In the Fedora CoreOS working group we have a few packages
where we'll be testing them extensively via automated tests and we'd like
to have those passing tests satisfy karma requirements for the packages to
be passed through to bodhi stable. Some packages we own and most likely
no one else cares about (like ignition) and others we'll test and simply add a
karma point such that it's a piece of data used to determine if the package
should be submitted to stable.
Would you be open to the idea of gating your packages on these tests? (I figure
this question applies to both Dusty and the facebook folks)
Down the road, I think we may want to lower the human element in our workflow in
favor of automated test systems that packages are gated on, so while this idea
is still very young and thus karma may be easier to implement today, it may be
something to keep in mind and consider for the future.
What do you think?
