What Bill's talking about when he refers to 'autoqa tests' are generic tests which are concerned with package quality, not really the software in the package: stuff like do the dependencies work, are there any clear errors in the file lists. They can be run on any RPM package, the software in the package doesn't really matter. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
