No. We don't systematically test all packages in the distribution, there are far too many. Anyone giving positive karma on an update should at least check it basically worked, but the last zabbix update was not tested by anyone, it was pushed stable without feedback after the minimum wait period expired. > I suppose such a basic test could even be automated relatively simply. Not...really, no. There are thousands of packages in the distribution. Not all of them provide something you can 'run', exactly. Of the ones that do, there is no particular single way you can test if they 'ran OK'. Humans are good at this.
