Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I think repoman full/scan is a tool for maintainer. Doing AT work I run them just before commit - too late for test instructions. It's possible to change workflow but since I never experienced repoman warnings that may stop stabilization I don't see any reasons to wait while repoman scan/full finishes (too long!) just to see test instructions. That said I think that it's good idea to have some better place for maintainer notes and may be metadata.xml is the right place. If you are going to add tags, please, make sure they'll behave like <pre> to keep formatting. Also besides test instructions we need some place (another tag) to keep notes _for_ maintainer. And finally I think we need two new repoman commands to see instructions, to avoid long delay before repoman shows anything. -- Peter.
