Handy test for "nightly" package builds would be upgrade from latest .deb packages.

Note: debspawn is a nice option for building .deb in isolated environment which does not require complex setup.

• packages from the repository can be installed
• packages conflicting between nightly and latest (so they don't get installed together by accident)
• osmo-* binaries running and printing a proper version
• systemd services running properly (also caught conflicting ports between Osmocom applications)

• https://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/job/Osmocom-repo-install-debian11/
• https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/osmo-ci/src/commit/4a0b42cc4f1ef0d79dea4ae5618213c3e3e4963f/scripts/repo-install-test/run-inside-docker.sh#L415-L434

Maybe extend that / maybe add something like lintian in gerrit after #2385?

That's subset of what piuparts does.

That seems like smth which can be formalized with autopkgtest. The nice thing about it is that tests are part of the package itself (via debian/tests/ ) which makes it easier to track and maintain.

piuparts and autopkgtest look nice! I'm sure there is room for improvement, just pointing out what is already there and that we also test centos packages. Probably best to discuss with Harald if he wants to have this set up.
