If it is getting regular updates and users will want to have the latest version, it makes sense for opensuse to leave it that way. This discussion may change that. As of a year ago, xfstests dependencies could all be met from the main repos. (see howto http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:XFStests) I believe a basic set of xfstests is run as part of the QA process for every factory build (factory is similar to rawhide). At least it was during 12.1 pre-release testing a year ago. http://openqa.opensuse.org/results/ Not a huge deal, but having xfstests tests which depend on fio would either mean opensuse dropping those tests that depend on fio from its routine QA testing, or it would mean adding fio to the main distro. How far into xfstests is fio likely to integrate? If it is to become a core tool and it is not going to be provided by xfstests itself, I can try to submit fio to factory. It will just have to kept new enough to satisfy xfstests version requirements. I do hope that if the distro has to provide a fio package, then xfstests only depend on the version, not the git check-in.
