The minimal test is wether the package builds at all

Running is not trivial. Zotero for example expects a graphical environment(?)

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyonly a subset of things block the channel from advancing15:49:04
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily if all failed builds stopped unstable from bumping, it'd never bump 15:49:12
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybut we do have e.g. automated end-to-end testing of installations, common graphical environments, etc.15:49:24
@laauurraa:matrix.orglaauurraa Yeah it does elikoga, that's what I expected. Being a bit difficult to test whether it launches or not 15:49:28
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily(since we have ~100k builds and many of them are always broken 🫠)15:50:18
@laauurraa:matrix.orglaauurraaI wish it was a little bit clearer when a package is stable or not?15:50:37
@laauurraa:matrix.orglaauurraaWould it be possible to add something to the nixpkgs search interface to link or show like a red/yellow/green bubble per platform about how "stable" it is? Whether builds have errors etc?15:52:40
