Description

A test that ensures there are no package dependencies broken by pushing out an update.

Setup

The test environment consists of any machine with depcheck script downloaded.

How to test

  1. Download all builds (i.e. all RPMs from a build for every build) currently present in a Koji tag you want to test. For example to list all builds currently proposed to stable Fedora 13 updates, you can run: 
    koji list-tagged dist-f13-updates-pending

    You can download them all e.g. like this: 

    koji list-tagged dist-f13-updates-pending --quiet | cut -f1 -d ' ' | while read BUILD; do koji download-build $BUILD; done

    Download all proposed packages
    It is absolutely necessary to always download all packages proposed for inclusion into some repository. If you download just some of them the test result may not be valid.
  2. Run depcheck script with the target repository (notice different syntax) and all the downloaded RPMs as arguments: 
    depcheck f13-updates *.rpm
  3. Examine depcheck output. Builds listed as ACCEPTED do not break dependencies. However, builds listed as REJECTED break them.

Expected Results

  1. All updates are listed as ACCEPTED. In other words, the proposed updates are not listed as REJECTED.
