Installation testing is greatly appreciated. You will need a tftp boot server setup, rsyncing the entire repo isn't required but will speed up the installations. The tests can be found here[1]. Installation on the development boards does require a couple of manual steps at the end of an interaction installation or a section in %post to deal with the 'fdtdir' and re-write uboot if you formatted the mSD/SD during installation.
