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?

Thanks Guillame. I wasn't aware of this and did not manage to find that
in the wiki. I thought the only tests performed where RPM lint checks,
manual checks by the QA and some undefined checks by the maintainers.

Anyhow, I assume the 'make test' is performed on the build server. Your
experiences might prove me wrong, but wouldn't it be better to perform
tests on a different installation?
Probably, indeed, because the environment would be closer to an actual usage environment. But this is hardly measurable.

And you have to balance the added value of those additional tests with the manpower needed to setup a new test infrastructure, integrate it with current build system, and maintain it... I heard the sysadmin team was looking for volonteers, if you're interested :P
