[gentoo-qa] QA checks and reports

[Luca Barbato]

Referring http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351239

Seems we could have some nice automated reports thanks to pkgcore, one
of the items undecided is how to report the results.

Some options are either received them as email or make it show up
through a website (like packages.g.o)

Surely I'd love to have a way to have a easy way to know how we are (see
fate.lscube.org for an example) in a webpage.

One thing I'm going to make sure here is that we _will_ have a "push"
notification; a website one has to check is _not_ going to be the only
solution; we can add as many notifications we want but at least an email
has to go out.

I for once usually don't keep many web pages open, but I always notice
email messages, and if we have a stable subject I'm going to put enough
priority on those that I can receive and act on them right as they
arrive, which is the main point of having this set up to be handled
automatically.

Besides, I sincerely don't see how fate could scale well for this kind
of checks compared to the build checks ffmpeg runs.

I am all hands for the website. Cause it allows even non-maintainers to
see and fix issues (provide patches/etc) which allows better community
blending :)

And people LOVE colourfull stuff :P

Agreed.

I have serious problems with emails (I lose some when I get an
overwhelming number of them in a short time due thunderbird not being
able to cope with them partially)

The fate structure is quite sound:

- color code the situation (the bar on the top)
- group the results (per arch, we could have also per herd)
- give an aggregate view with ability to dig down

So I'd copy it.
