[Mageia-dev] Regression testing for generated RPM

Wed Jan 16 21:36:48 CET 2013

I am indeed interested in helping to establish this kind of infrastructure
+and I think I could reallocate some time to help with that effort. But,
+that would only make sense, if Mageia would adopt and use the system at the
+end - if it proves to be useful.
+Do you think that would be the case? What would be the next step? Is there
+some way to express a formal proposal?
