Not at the moment, but before sinking time into this I would first like to see some commitment to / interest in checks like these.
If we are going to do this I have a few questions: -What languages would be acceptable to write such checks in? -What kind of access to the repository for which is being build is available on the buildsys. (mirror mounted as filesystem / yum only / ..) Regards, Hans
