Hi Utkarsh,
Nice! Thanks a lot for the pointer.
I very much agree with you that the debate has to be emptied from
emotions if possible. My goal has never been to point finger at anyone,
but try to fix a reoccurring situation which I would like to avoid.
Running the script shows that 279 reverse (build?) dependencies are
affected by mock. This clearly isn't something one wants to run on a
personal computer, and even less a test which one wants to run sequentially.
Has any thought went into having some kind of runners running on a cloud
to run these tests, and maybe plug this into Salsa's CI to run it
automatically?
I'd very much would love to set this up, at least as a first
experimentation on a bunch of package of the DPMT.
Your thoughts?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
