Description
Unless I got lost in the package tree, I don't see any tests other than those in nixos/tests, which are effectively for the NixOS modules.
I want to start adding package tests, primarily for all those package I regularly update/maintain.
a) Where should I put those
b) How would I bootstrap them? (I want them to be run as part of the channel updates, not unlike the nixos/tests files)
c) Do we have concerns with Hydra build times if/when people were to start adding lots of tests?
