During snapcraft releases, we are not testing that important projects continue to build
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed without implementation. No automated test suite was created to verify critical projects build during snapcraft releases. The request was abandoned after extended inactivity.
Suggested action: —
No scores available.
Issue body
There are already some important projects that have a snapcraft.yaml in their repositories. We should make sure that each new release of snapcraft keeps working for them.
In order to do so, we need an automated test suite that builds all of these important projects. If one fails, we block the release until investigating further.
