Rather than name change, I assumed we would host our Fedora QA tasks in a Fedora QA-owned&branded git repo. Something like git-qa-taskbot-tasks would be one of the sources that taskbot could pull. But I don't mind having our tasks closer to the core repo, that's fine. Which reminds me, will we be trying to have Taskbot at least partially distribution independent, for example something that OpenSUSE and other RPM-based (or maybe not just RPM-based) distros could pick up as well? It would add more abstraction layers (e.g. abstract out fedmsg). But we could also gain external contributions.

A logical step would be to clone the repos on the server (i.e. simply check up-to-date status on every task run, or regularly) and copy the files onto the test client during client initialization. We will need to support file transfer (probably bidirectional) anyway. _______________________________________________ qa-devel mailing list qa-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/qa-devel
