Hi
there is this problem, that Factory is sometimes broken but it would be nice if people had a safer way to test new software even between milestone-releases (which are manual factory-snaphots).
via https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Tools I found something I wanted to have for openSUSE, too: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Israwhidebroken.com_Proposal
I did s/rawhide/Factory/ s/chewtoy/Factory-tested/ and seeded this onto http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory-tested_Proposal
It is about creating a snapshot of Factory whenever it passes all basic automated tests (aka critical path) - preferably with minimal human intervention (aka hard work) needed. I have much of the automated testing done, so what is missing is a way to trigger+do the snapshotting.
I can poll a file on openqa.opensuse.org and do a factory-tested snapshot when it contains the content of /factory/repo/oss/media.1/build - this is really peanuts. What's not peanuts: this is several GB more to host and mirror. Not a big problem on our own hosts, but for wider use you may want to convince mirror admins to mirror it too. But that might come from itself when it's a good solution.
