[Announcement] eLxr Mirror Tracker Enhancement Update - Add Installation Testing

We’re pleased to announce a significant enhancement to the eLxr Mirror Tracker project, the dashboard is available at https://elxr-mirror-tracker-532e68.gitlab.io. The project now includes automated installation testing results for all changed/updated packages.

What’s New

We’ve integrated installation testing directly into the Mirror Tracker workflow, enabling the testing team to validate package changes automatically. The system now:

  • Monitors package changes - Continuously tracks added, removed, and updated packages across different dates

  • Triggers automated tests - Automatically initiates installation tests for changed packages

  • Validates across architectures - Tests package installation success on multiple target architectures

  • Displays test results - Shows installation testing outcomes in the last column of the project

How It Works

When the Mirror Tracker detects package changes (additions, removals, or updates), it automatically:

  1. Identifies the specific packages that changed

  2. Triggers installation tests targeting only those changed packages

  3. Validates installation success across different architectures

  4. Updates the project with test results in real-time

Benefits

  • Immediate feedback - Get instant visibility into whether changed packages install successfully

  • Targeted testing - Focus validation efforts on packages that actually changed, not entire package sets

  • Efficient validation - Reduce testing time by testing only what matters

  • Enhanced visibility - Track both package changes and their installation status in one place

Check the last column in the project to see the installation testing results for changed packages.
