Steps to test autopackage releases, starting from a clean slate:

Main functionality

• Install the 1.0 Foobar package, combinations:
  • From the command line
  • With "no password" when asked for the root password the first time
  • With password the first time but not the second time

• Check that:
  • It installs the foobar files correctly
  • That it resolved the foobar-core dependency correctly
  • That it installed the GTKFE correctly
  • That it appears in the manager application
  • Check that "package files foobar" works, "package verify foobar" works, "package uninstall foobar" works.
  • Now do those checks again, and make sure they fail cleanly.

• Install it again. Now foobar should install but foobar-core shouldn't (as it's already there)
  • Uninstall it using the graphical manager.

• Install it again, but inverting the user/root combination you used previously.
  • Try uninstalling it as the "wrong" user, make sure it fails and/or you get prompted.
  • Uninstall it using the graphical manager.

• Build a foobar RPM using checkinstall, install it, make sure it gets uninstalled when you install foobar
• Build an apbuild RPM that depends on foobar, install it, make sure that rpm foobar is not installed and we fail cleanly.

• Find a 1.2 C++ package
  • Make sure you can launch it from the desktop environment
  • Make sure the right C++ ABI is selected and installed.
  • Make sure there are no visual glitches during uninstall.

Manager

Prerequisite: a couple of packages should be installed.

• Run "package list" in the terminal
  • remember the list of packages
• Start the GTK+ manager
  • It should show a filtered list of packages (only "desktop apps")
  • Switch the filter to "All Applications"
  • The list of packages should be the same as for "package list"
