Even better, the virtual machine can do a "yum update --skip-broken", and then pick up yum's report on what was updated and what was skipped. Packages which were cleanly updated get pushed to updates-stable repo, while the broken ones remain in the staging repo until things get fixed. The maintainers of those packages can also receive an automatic e-mail that their packages didn't pass the yum update test. The staging repo can contain only the packages which are to be pushed to stable. It's all a matter of creating one virtual machine (or two, one for each arch) and writing a couple of scripts which would handle the test process. I am already doing something similar on my local network... ;-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
