This is part of what I mean by "decomposing the compose." We have one rather monolithic process right now, all or nothing. And it does so much that it's impossible to get any fast results from it. That doesn't mean it doesn't work well for what it does. But it's not very flexible, as you pointed out. With a more flexible compose we could choose to do smaller tasks (as well as capitalize on other time savings) for something like a speculative testing build. That kind of build could be used to perform integration testing as well as other tasks (automated, not manual!). We could even potentially test against much of the repetitive, time-consuming matrices manually (and heroically) run by QA. Then only choose to do more extensive tasks based on that being "green." -- Paul _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
