Replying to [comment:11 mattdm]:
I don't think we '''need''' a
fast-updates-testing. In these cases, the
testing is almost always done by people
grabbing unpushed builds from
koji.
It does not only allow to test updates but also to test the fast-updates
distribution system, because if it is rarely used, it might be broken
without some noticing until it is needed.
I guess it doesn't _hurt_, and might make it easier for people to
test
("yum --enablerepo=fast-testing install foopackage" instead of
following
the individual koji links). What would cause the packages to move from
fast-updates-testing to fast-updates? Could that happen automatically with
bodhi karma?
In the beginning it would be manual. But since the repo should be
available within 20 minutes testing can happen fast and it should be ok to
create the testing repo, wait a little for testers feedback and then
create the stable repo.
The fedmsg / createrepo reactor should probably test for
properly-signed
RPMs just to be safe.
Yes, but this is also something that is noticed if testers use the testing
repo to install the RPMs.
