I plan on switching to Factory when it is deemed *ready*. I don't really understand the present Factory model :^(.
Uhm I am using Factory since a while now and I believe that is ready. The current model is quite simple, I think. In the previous model Factory was the place where the integration part happens. When the release manager added a new package into factory, this were deployed as soon as it compiles properly in Factory itself. There were no check that the package works well in any deployed machine. -> PR to Devel -> PR to Factory -> Directly to the user The current model, that is working since end of February? is more robust. There are three mode steps involved. 1) If the package related with the PR to Factory is 'an important one' (is in a list that is named 'ring'), this will put in a new project (staging project). This package needs to compile with the rest of packages that are there in the s.p. and also with Factory itself 2) When complies, a new ISO is generated and feed into openQA. This is and small version of Factory but with new news packages that are allocated in the s.p. If openQA says that is ok, all the packages can go to the real Factory. We call this pre-integration tests 3) Te current Factory, together with all the new integrated packages go again into openQA, in a FactoryToTest ISO image. openQA runs all the tests in these ISOs, And if (and only if) openQA says that this FTT is green, the user will receive the packages. So the new model is like: -> PR to Devel -> PR to Factory -> [Staging Project] -> [Pre-Integration Tests] -> Integration into Factory -> [Post-Integration Tests] -> Directly to the user Of course there are mode details, but basically this was it.
