[Mageia-dev] Regression testing for generated RPM

[Jochen Breuer]

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?
