Well, one awkward thing about this is that Bodhi is where we've implemented quite a lot of CI/test automation integration. Fedora CI runs tests at the package build level, but the results are primarily shown - and gating is potentially done - at the Bodhi update level. openQA runs tests at the Bodhi update level; if there isn't an update, it will not automatically run tests. It's also where we usually route *manual* testing feedback. If people can't comment and karma a Bodhi update, where can they test this big and very-potentially-destabilizing change? 99+-package updates are exactly the kind of case where we'd *want* to consider automated test results before deciding to merge, usually. If Bodhi can't be improved to handle this, I'd really want the alternative path to have proper consideration for integrating test feedback, both manual and automated. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
