Comment (by nejucomo):

 **Note:** I removed the checkboxes in the quotes to avoid state confusion.
 (I intended to update comment 15 to reflect new changes in addition to
 adding comments.)

 Replying to [comment:15 nejucomo]:
 > We chatted about next steps in a weekly dev chat just now.  I propose
 the next steps are:

 > 1. Review and merge https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/buildbot-config-
 tahoe/pulls
 > 2. Create a test runner framework in https://github.com/tahoe-lafs
 /packaging-tests

 I propose we use twisted trial as "the framework" and run tests with
 ``trial $OPTIONS packaging_tests``.

 > 3. Move the Tahoe ``./misc/build_helpers`` tests into ``packaging-
 tests``

 Oh, I should look at these before selecting the framework.  Hopefully
 these are easy to hook into trial tests.

 > 4. Swap in this new configuration into the existing build-bot network
 (-and carefully consider contingency downgrade)
 > 5. Verify that the new buildbot operation is functionally equivalent to
 the current operation
 > 6. Close this ticket as resolved
 >
 > After that, we can iterate on ``packaging-tests`` to try to nail down
 installation issues, using separate tickets.

 complete.


 So right now I'm going to examine ``./misc/build_helpers`` and determine
 if they'd fit into a trial design.
