Package "autopkgtest"

  autopkgtest (2.10) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Record name and version of tested package in log and in
    output-dir/testpkg-version. (first part of LP #1292431)
  * Record installed packages and their versions for each test, in
    <output-dir>/<test>-packages. (second half of LP: #1292431)
  * Drop adt-testreport-*, adt-openbugs-*: These have been marked deprecated
    for a while, haven't been used or maintained in many years, and are
    superseded by jenkins/debci. (Closes: #695974)

  autopkgtest (2.9.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * VirtSubproc.py, copydown_shareddir(): Fix "src and dest are the same file"
    error when file is already in the shared downtmp.
  * VirtSubproc.py, copydown_shareddir(): Remove already existing target
    directory to avoid copying an updated directory into the old one.
  * adt-run: Show timestamps at the beginning, start of preparation (i. e.
    mostly installing dependencies), and start and end of tests.
    (LP: #1290760)
  * Run NullRunnerNoRoot tests during package build. Add python-debian build
    dependency for that.

  autopkgtest (2.9.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * doc/README.package-tests: Clarify syntax of test Depends:, and point to
    the relevant Debian Policy specification.
  * adt-build-lxc: Fall back to assuming /var/lib/lxc/ as container directory
    if lxc-config does not exist. It was introduced in 1.0, but Debian
    unstable still has 0.9. (Closes: #740437)
  * tests: Extend test_artifacts() to multiple tests writing artifacts, also
    with overwriting existing files and writing into subdirs.
  * VirtSubproc: Fix copyup_shareddir() to get along with existing
    directories. (LP: #1288668)
  * settings.make: Switch default prefix to /usr, as our scripts hardcode that
    for finding VirtSubproc.py and this is a native package. (LP: #1287264)

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Fix adt-virt-schroot to correctly return root-on-testbed when we're
    running adt-run as root. (Closes: #740868)

  autopkgtest (2.9) unstable; urgency=low

  New features:
  * Add "downtmp-host=<path>" testbed capability, for runners which can set up
    a shared directory between host and testbed. This is used by copyupdown to
    more efficiently copy files back and forth, and in many/most cases, don't
    explicitly copy anything at all.
  * Introduce a new testbed capability "downtmp-shared-fifo" that declares
    that testbed and the host can use a FIFO in the shared downtmp for
    communication. Use this to generalize live test output to all runners
    which declare that, not just -null.
  * Convert null, chroot, schroot, lxc, and qemu runners to use a shared
    downtmp dir. Note that qemu does not support FIFO (through the 9p file
    system), so that one does not get live test output.
  * Don't define $TMPDIR for tests any more. Having $TMPDIR in the shared dir
    isn't efficient and even breaks some tests (as they might not be able to
    put sockets etc. into it), and it's an artificial difference to the
    default system behaviour of just using /tmp. The documentation already was
    changed a long time ago to only document $ADTTMP as a scratch directory
    for tests.
  * Add test restrictions "isolation-container" and "isolation-machine", and
    corresponding testbed capabilities. Tests can use that to declare that
    they want to start services or open ports (i. e. a simple chroot/schroot
    is insufficient) or access hardware, reboot, and interact the kernel
    (where even a container is insufficient), and will be skipped instead of
    failing when they run in a virtualization server which does not provide
    enough isolation.
  * Add manpage for adt-build-lxc script.
  * Ship adt-build-lxc script and its manpage in the package.

  Documentation updates:
  * doc/README.package-tests: Some stylistic updates, and add section headers.
  * adt-virt-lxc.1: Point to, and show how to use adt-build-lxc.
  * Add doc/README.running-tests: Overview of how to run adt-run, most common
    scenarios, and available virtualization servers with their pros/cons.

  Bug fixes:
  * tests: Copy tests/home/ into a temporary dir and set $HOME to that, to
    avoid cluttering the source dir.
  * Don't produce empty stderr/stdout files with --output-dir. (LP: #1282866)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Install linux-generic, to get the full kernel
    (needed for e. g. udisks2 to get scsi_debug).
  * tests: Add a broken symlink to testpkg, to ensure that copying trees
    around gets along with those.
  * adt-run: Always use fakeroot with adt-virt-qemu, to work around chown
    failing on 9p.
  * xen/initscript: Always source /lib/lsb/init-functions. (Thanks lintian)
  * tests/adt-run: Increase timeout in NullRunner.test_timeout_long_build to
    avoid failure on slow architectures.
  * adt-build-lxc: Properly wait for finished container boot instead of a
    static 10 second sleep.
  * adt-build-lxc: Only flush the cache when updating an existing container.

  autopkgtest (2.8.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use the install timeout instead of the short one for
    --setup-commands/--apt-upgrade.
  * Fix --apt-upgrade to not hang on dpkg conffile prompts.
  * Use ./tests/home/ as $HOME during tests, and add a gpg key to it so that
    we don't have to generate one (which often hangs due to lack of entropy).
  * Make the test suite run as user, skip tests which require root (all
    ChrootRunner and most NullRunner tests).
