Just link all interesting packages you want to test in, and do your changes.
Which for X libs would mean a huge number of links. Very practical indeed.
And breaking other's repos is any better? During the day the repo was broken I received 3 bugreports and various personal emails about this breakage. It costs me a day and without the friendly help of my collegue Jiri Slaby it would have taken much longer to fix the issue.
First notice I have about this. But without knowing how much test the patch received before SR and how difficult it was to find a package that required the internal symbols, I would argue X11:XOrg is a repo people should expect can break from time to time, and this kind of "tests" should be allowed.
And let the repo's maintainer suffer from that? I disagree.
But the important thing is why it took you a full day, with help, to fix it. Revert a patch should be trivial... but there is no easier way than "osc co -r <latest-1>; osc ci", true?
Of course the first approach was to only revert the changes package wise one-by-one. In the end for each package the changes needed to be reverted. Due to the huge dependancy chain in X11:Xorg together with our slow build service this took a whole day.
