Fedora package maintainers, want test results?

For a some time now, automated tests have been running against Fedora package builds thanks to the AutoQA post-koji-build watcher.  The current tests are by no means exhaustive, but they do provide some level of automated feedback for those interested in a quick sanity check of their package builds.  As a proof-of-concept, and before the spiffy results database is online, all test results are sent to the autoqa-results mailing list.

A few weeks back, Seth Vidal proposed several changes to allow package maintainers to sign-up for test results by mail.  We all get a lot of email as it is, so this certainly isn’t the long-term option.  However, it is an option for package maintainers who want test results emailed directly to them for review.

So, if you want to sign-up for email notification of test results (includes rpmlint, rpmguard and, if applicable, initscripts) whenever you build new packages:

1. Using your FAS credentials, login to fedorapeople.org  (for assistance, see access instructions)
2. Sign-up by running the command  autoqa-optin with appropriate options.  For example, to enable test emails for pykickstart for all rawhide and Fedora 14 builds, you would run:

   # autoqa-optin pykickstart devel F-14
   Opted into autoqa results for pykickstart of devel release
   Opted into autoqa results for pykickstart of F-14 release

To query which releases are configured for test result notification, you can run the autoqa-optin script with just a package name.  For example:

# autoqa-optin yum
yum opted in for releases:
 devel
 F-12
 F-13
 EL-6
 F-11
 F-14

Available Releases to be opted into:
 EL-4
 EL-5

Enjoy!
