QA should select some key values from buildhistory and track their changes over time in order to detect regression. These values include existent ones and others that would be relevant and can be introduced in buildhistory. In case of the latter, separate bugs/enhancement requests should be filed and marked as blocking this one. This bug can be marked as RESOLVED when all necessary values have been identified and the process of tracking them has been implemented.
Filed bug 4526 to track the value of IMAGESIZE parameter.
More info: We need to track the values like we do with other performance related metrics. Example: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Performance_Test
Will work this on 1.6. Assigning it to Corneliu.
we can track package upgrades, like: [alex@fed core-image-sato-sdk]$ diff installed-packages.txt ../../../../../poky-buildhistory-a16b4b9583acc8b4d4079e56932f9897f3f8de59/images/qemux86/glibc/core-image-sato-sdk/installed-packages.txt 2a3 > adwaita-icon-theme-3.16.2.1-r0.all.rpm 75,76c76,77 < connman-1.29-r0.i586.rpm < connman-client-1.29-r0.i586.rpm --- > connman-1.30-r0.i586.rpm > connman-client-1.30-r0.i586.rpm 79c80 < connman-dev-1.29-r0.i586.rpm --- > connman-dev-1.30-r0.i586.rpm 82,83c83,84 < connman-tests-1.29-r0.i586.rpm < connman-tools-1.29-r0.i586.rpm --- > connman-tests-1.30-r0.i586.rpm > connman-tools-1.30-r0.i586.rpm [alex@fed core-image-sato-sdk]$
This tracking bug is no longer needed.
