[gentoo-dev] GLEP draft review: 'Post-install QA checks'

[Michał Górny]

Hello, developers and almost-developers :).

I have finished the first draft of 'post-install QA checks' GLEP [1],
and I would like to get some reviews of it :).

The whole effort started with me splitting the original QA check
function in Portage into install-qa-check.d. Now I'd like to have
a well-defined spec for the checks that can be stored in repositories
and installed by packages. Kensington has extended it with machine-
logging facilities so that tinderbox would be able to easily parse QA
check results.

Abstract (pasted for reference)
-------------------------------

This GLEP provides a mechanism for running QA checks on installation
image after src_install phase exits. The checks can be provided by
the Package Manager, repositories, packages (installed system-wide)
and the system administrator. The QA checks can inspect the installation
image, output and store both user- and machine-oriented QA warning logs,
manipulate the files and abort the install, as necessary.
