#11633 Rawhide Gating: Include packages in scratch-build test

  • Describe the issue
    Today, we had an issue where I merged and built a new fedora-release package that had a typo in a new macro definition, breaking all Rawhide builds. This should not have made it past gating -- particularly not past the scratch-build test.

I think we probably need the scratch-build test to ensure that the packages being verified are ALSO included in the buildroot for that scratch-build. This would have prevented the issue we hit today, since the fedora-release build would then have failed in gating and never been pushed to production, breaking the buildroot for everyone else.

(If this should be filed elsewhere, please let me know)

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    No strict timeline

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    The heat-death of the universe or the termination of the Fedora Project package gating system, whichever comes first.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
    We will continue to encounter avoidable buildroot breakages like the one above.

See e.g. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/blob/rawhide/f/tests/build-self/runtest.sh for how we have done it in redhat-rpm-config

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how that test does what I'm asking for.

So, I am not sure what releng can do here. ;)

Perhaps this should be against centos-ci? Or perhaps @adamwill has some ideas for openqa?

Or we just need to adjust what ci we do on fedora-release?
