Well, the RPMs can have different guidelines depending on the distribution they are made for. So the official RPMs are packaged in Fedora [1], CentOS Storage SIG [2] and other distribution specific repositories. The distributions are responsible for verification of the packages they ship. But, we could do something like this for the included .spec. The nightly builds [3] can be consumed by other tests. It is possible to download the RPMs and run "rpmlint" and other verification tools on them. It is relatively straight forward to write a script that we can include as a job in the CentOS CI [4]. The gluster_libgfapi-python script [5] can be taken as an example. Anyone is more than welcome to send me scripts that I can wrap in the needed CentOS CI Jenkins environment. Depending on the time that the tests need, we can run them every night, week, or whatever. If needed we can run them upon each patch submission, but we'll probably need to request a higher resource limit in that case. I guess you could request an RPM-verification test [6], but please add some details on what tools you would like to see used. At the moment there are very few contributors helping out with the running of automated tests, so do not have too high expectations on when someone gets around to write+test a script from scratch.
