It's about sanity checking that (eg) the kernel boots or that critical daemons start up. In libguestfs, we have a simple %check section that runs hundreds of tests on the kernel, qemu and many core filesystem packages (it's not our intention to test these packages, but we do that as a side effect). <rant> Why can't openssh have a %check section? The kernel?? Qemu??? It's not that hard. (Or rather: it is hard but only because other packagers just stuff things into Rawhide without any sanity checking at all) I thought AutoQA was going to do this, but it's been disappointing. Anyone should be able to add package tests to it without the current system which apparently requires central coordination. </rant> Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
