Well, I was aiming for upstream, not just Fedora. Also that would
not work when you add a new dependency. I think of CI as something
that should strive to work and not take any extra time once it is
properly set up. But who knows, maybe I won't finish it.
I see - sounds like we need a machine-readable cross-distro way to
describe dependencies. Ideally in groups, like "minimal"
dependencies, "test only", "maximum features" etc. We could even
translate these automatically or semi-automatically into spec files,
debian directory etc. This would be nice to have but I'm not aware of
a way to do this. Didn't Andrea describe something like this
recently?
