Thanks for the clarification - the emphasis was on coming support for PRs. I've reworded that part of the proposal to make it more clear that dist-git isn't "moving to pagure". > Another alternate here is that we could make taskotron a 'namespace' > like currently rpms/ and docker/ are.

That is an alternative that we had been looking at before we learned that dist-git would be getting pull requests. The namespace we were talking about was 'checks/rpms/foobar' which would also open the door for things like 'checks/docker/foobar' or any other type of deliverable which uses dist-git. Our thought is that keeping all the checks in the same repo that spec files live in is going to be easier to use than having to worry about keeping 2 repos in sync with eachother. That being said, we're fine with either storage paradigm and it doesn't matter much if we look for tasks in a directory inside dist-git branches or a separate repo which only holds tasks as long as there is a single convention that is easy for most contributors and doesn't involve something that's unmanageable for the Taskotron devs/admins. > Is there any provision for tests that should be run on _all_ > packages? or we would need to link the test into all repos, etc? > I have in mind a test that would get the checksum from the sources > file and see if it could compare it to upstream. At this point, that's pretty much "come talk to us and we'll get something figured out". I suspect that things which run on all builds/uploads are going to be the minority of tasks that people want to run and for now, it's treated as a special case. So, if you have ideas for checks that would run on all packages or on groups of packages, please come find us. If I'm wrong and there are a lot of more general checks that people want to run, we can speed up plans to make them less of a special case. > Finally, are the lifecycle points triggered via fedmsg?

Everything that runs in Taskotron is triggered via fedmsg so we can add pretty much anything which emits a fedmsg. In this context, there are only so many things which make sense to have in dist-git but that doesn't mean it can't be run. I've started an explicit list of the lifecycle points that we'll be supporting for the tasks stored in dist-git. https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/T721 > Thanks for working on all this.
