I've been doing some poking at OpenQA from the SuSE folks. It is not packaged for Debian (though it's core package os-autoinst is). Trying to get a log in to Debian's instance of OpenQA https://openqa.debian.net/ leads to some weird site called microfocus.com. I wonder what relationship that holds to Debian's infrastructure?
The domain debian.org contains official Debian services, whereas debian.net contains services related to but not officially Debian.
Thanks Jonas - I completely missed that it was a *.net address.
I'll have to dig a little more but I believe that having PureOS tested there might be a good thing. Kali is tested there as well so it may save us some disk space and CPU time to have it done there. We'll need to make sure that it meets the Free Software policies we have and while OpenQA itself surely does (its GPLv2), we shouldn't have to give info to a third party to access testing services.
There are no such guarantees (from Debian, at least) for debian.net services, so you should consult whoever runs that service - and beware that it can change, so if you get guarantees from current provider then you should probably also setup some checks for the host shifting its provider.
Ah, okay. Thanks again!
