Hi all,

With the enthusiasm of package submitters/maintainers and the increased support
of Debian Maintainers and Debian Developers, the number of packages on Mentors
is at a manageable level. For this I thank everyone involved and I hope we can
get better in the future.

I propose now we add a new test to the tests currently run against packages.

ratt:

* https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ratt
* https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/ratt/ratt.1.en.html

ratt (“Rebuild All The Things!”) operates on a Debian .changes file of a just-
built package, identifies all reverse-build-dependencies and rebuilds them with
the .debs from the .changes file.

The intended use-case is, for example, to package a new snapshot of a Go
library and verify that the new version does not break any other Go
libraries/binaries.

ratt need not be run against architecture 'all' packages, so for these it will
be a 'N/A' result.

Your thoughts?

Regards

Phil
