Description

A comment from @lpichler

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/pull/20776#issuecomment-723060976

Tests are 🟢 https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-cross_repo-tests/pull/220

Got me thinking: "This would be excellent if the bot could do this for us!"

Approach 1

On new commits to a cross_repo build, we check on the status of a cross repo build and report back when it has completed (pass/fail), and delay said job if it hasn't completed.

This is probably the simplest solution, but also the biggest hack.

Approach 2

Add some form of web hook to the travis build to inform the associated PR of a build pass/failure. Not sure of the possibility of this, so this would require more research. At a minimum, we probably could be able to send a web request to the bot, or enable a direct status post from the cross_repo travis run on the success of the run.
