[opensuse-buildservice] Automatic test for correct installation
Hello, as far as I understand it, there is currently no test whether a package build by the build service can also be installed (if it is not used by other packages). Maybe there already is such a test and I just did not find the correct settings? If not, one solution would be to create a dummy package which has a BuildRequires line mentioning just the package to test. In the build part it could try to execute an exectuable of the package and report failures. Is it possible to create a package consisting of a spec only? Is there an easier way to achieve this, because I would need one extra package for every package I want to test?

My understanding is that the package gets installed and uninstalled as part of a series of test at the end of the build.

I could not find anything that supports that assumption in my buildlogs. But even if it is the case it would not be a "clean" environment since all the BuildRequires packages already have been installed which you cannot assume for a user who just wants to install the built package. I tried my testpackage approach now but unfortunately it is not allowed to create empty RPMs on openSUSE:Factory. Thus maybe I ask again. Is there an easier way to check for correct installation?
