        longer overwrite an existing alias by default
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * d/README.source: Add a policy for autopkgtest dependencies:
        - Host system: aiming to support latest Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS,
          and the previous stable/LTS if it's straightforward to do so
        - Testbed: aiming to support Debian 8+ or Ubuntu 14.04+
      * testbed: Use sudo -n true instead of sudo -n -v to detect
        ability to run sudo without password, resulting in it being detected
        successfully in more cases
      * testbed: Move more environmental setup into wrapper.sh
      * testbed: Factor out Perl code to parse dependencies
      * setup-testbed:

        - Remove stale reference to SchrootClickRunner tests, which were removed
          in mid 2022

        - CI: Run basic tests on Debian 11

      [ Paride Legovini, Simon McVittie ]
      * testbed: Install satdep using apt-get install /path/to/*.deb if possible
        (apt >= 1.1, available in Debian 9+ or Ubuntu 16.04+), falling back to
        using dpkg --unpack and apt-get -f install as before for Debian 8 and
        Ubuntu 14.04
    
      [ Gioele Barabucci ]
      * lib/VirtSubproc: Use explicit paths for commands in downtmp,
        fixing testbed failure if the default shell is changed to busybox
        during testing
    
      [ Antonio Terceiro ]
      * Add --timeout option, which sets a global timeout for all commands
        that are controlled by the source package being tested
        (the build if the needs-build restriction is present, and the tests
        themselves).

      * autopkgtest-build-lxc: add --keyring option for consistency with qemu

  • autopkgtest (5.26) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * Add a needs-sudo restriction.
        This can be used by packages like gvfs to run tests that need to be run
        as an ordinary user, but also require the ability to elevate privileges
        to do setup and/or teardown steps. (Closes: #906424)
      * Fix a long-standing race condition in test stdout/stderr reporting,
        which particularly affects the unshare backend (Closes: #1017974)
      * await-boot: Fix a regression in 5.25 which affected tests that
        reboot into a sysvinit environment, such as munin
      * Start factoring out shell code that runs in the testbed into scripts
        lib/in-testbed/*.sh, so that we can include comments, run lint checks
        and other useful QA things
      * testbed: Make reboot-request detection clearer by not relying on
        compensating errors
      * testbed, runner: Remove leftover bits of support for install-tmp mode,
        which was removed in 5.12
      * d/README.source: Document how to run snap lxd via sudo
      * doc: Sort restrictions and capabilities in alphabetical order
      * runner: Fix a pycodestyle warning
      * d/tests/lxd: Update to work with the version in Debian unstable
        - Add more test-dependencies
        - Modernize use of `lxd init`
        - Run as a user in the appropriate group
        - Use Debian testing instead of EOL Ubuntu 16.04 (Closes: #1016912)
      * d/tests/schroot: Ensure hostname resolves promptly
      * tests: Improve debug output for tests that reboot
      * tests: Avoid polluting stderr with diagnostic output
      * tests: Treat AUTOPKGTEST_TEST_INSTALLED= as uninstalled
      * tests: Make a test cope with custom arguments to virt backend
      * tests: Don't assert that there is no debug output from virt backend
      * tests: Get more debug info from SchrootRunner.test_foreign_arch_deps
      * tests: Get more debug info from DebTestsVirtContainer.test_timeout
      * tests: Get extra debug information from test_copy_timeout
      * tests: Skip test_timeout on lxd backend.
        This currently fails, which seems to be reliable, lxd-specific, and
        not a recent regression in autopkgtest. (Mitigates: #1020634)

      * tests/autopkgtest: Fix test failure if the user has per-user
        containers in ~/.local/share for both lxc and the podman ecosystem
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * Improve reliability of waiting for lxc, lxd, podman containers to
        boot an init system (Closes: #1017753)
      * On non-amd64 architectures, skip a test that assumes i386 can be a
        foreign architecture
      * Clarify documentation for Restrictions:
        - isolation-container implies a service manager (init system) such as
          systemd or sysv-rc
        - isolation-container does not guarantee logind
        - isolation-machine provides the same things as isolation-container
        - needs-root is at least root in a container, but not always global root

      * build-docker(1): Fix an invalid groff macro (thanks, Lintian)
      * ssh-setup/maas: Silence a Lintian false positive
      * Test coverage for regressions in 5.23:
        - Test virt-unshare as an autopkgtest to exercise "as-installed" use
        - Test virt-lxc as an ordinary user, to detect regressions like #1017017
        - Test virt-unshare --bind
      * Test reliability:
        - Use testing in preference to unstable to avoid transient failures
          during transitions
      * Packaging updates:
        - Update syntax of Lintian overrides
        - Add myself to Uploaders
        - Standards-Version: 4.6.1 (no changes required)

      * Add support for docker.io virtualization (Closes: #747909)
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * virt-docker, build-docker: Allow running as virt-podman, build-podman
      * virt-podman, build-podman: Add --init option.
        Docker is designed to be used for "app containers", which are like a
        better-isolated chroot. Podman can be used like this, but can also be
        used to run traditional full-system containers in the same way as lxc
        and lxd, and in particular it has special support for running systemd
        as the container's init system.
        When we're running a service manager like systemd, sysv-rc or openrc,
        we can provide the isolation-container capability.
      * autopkgtest: Make --test-name repeatable (Closes: #1015921)
      * build-podman, build-qemu: Optionally swap or force the init system:
        systemd (+ logind), sysv-rc (+ elogind) or openrc (+ elogind).
        For qemu, the default is what debootstrap provides, usually systemd.
        For podman, the default is no init system at all.
      * Automatically create an unprivileged user to run tests if the testbed
        is expendable.
        This avoids needing to create an unprivileged user when building
        container and VM images, which build-lxc and build-podman don't do.

      * virt-unshare: Factor out unshare-helper into a shell script
      * Improve setup-testbed script:
        - Stop installing gpg.
          We've been installing this since 2018, but it seems we haven't needed
          it since we switched from apt-key to [trusted=yes] in 2015.
        - Only install dbus, rng-tools if we have an init system
        - Only install libpam-systemd if systemd is installed
        - Only set up ifupdown if it's installed
        - If we overwrite sources.list, also empty sources.list.d
        - Don't crash if unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
        - Have a separate proxy setting for setup-testbed itself
        - Don't use /usr/share/doc to check package status
        - Silence a new shellcheck warning
      * Add a test that asserts tests can access pseudo-terminals
      * Run more tests on Gitlab-CI and from autopkgtest:
        - autopkgtest-virt-docker (can run via docker:dind or in qemu)
        - autopkgtest-virt-lxc (can run under privileged Docker or qemu)
        - autopkgtest-virt-podman (can run under privileged Docker or in qemu)
        - autopkgtest-virt-podman --init (can run in qemu)
        - autopkgtest-virt-schroot (can run under privileged Docker, lxc or qemu)
      * Test fixes, particularly for running tests that require privileges:
        - Fix ChrootRunner failure with glibc 2.34
        - Make dependencies more complete
        - Skip test_apt_autodep8_with_control if autodep8 not installed
        - Speed up test_git_source_build
        - Update for perl autodep8 behaviour changes in bullseye
        - Test the installed autopkgtest runner so autopkgtest doesn't break
          its own specification
        - Don't run lint-style tests as an autopkgtest, notably pyflakes
        - Accept more variations of apt output
        - Fix build of mock test package if a second binary is added
        - Cope with schroot not always having AUTOPKGTEST_NORMAL_USER
        - Make test failures easier to debug
        - Tolerate output before first explicit setup command
        - Cope with XDG basedirs environment variables being set
        - Speed up testing source package from apt by using a simpler package
          (src:tap.py rather than src:gdk-pixbuf)
        - Speed up testing schroot backend by repeating fewer tests
        - Speed up testing schroot backend by using /var/lib/schroot/unpack
          (schroot users should mount a fast filesystem in that location,
          ideally a tmpfs if they have enough RAM available)
        - Speed up testing schroot backend by using an uncompressed tarball
        - Ignore absence of /dev/pts while testing the virt-chroot backend
        - Make Podman containers available in mock home directory
        - Never completely clear the environment
        - Make the test apt archive readable by everyone, fixing failures with
          some virtualization backends
        - Install libpam-elogind instead of libpam-systemd in VMs and system
          containers that boot with a non-systemd init

          These technologies are no longer maintained, and none of the
          autopkgtest maintainers test autopkgtest's support for them, so
          it's very likely that this doesn't actually work anyway.

        autopkgtest 4.0 with its "autopkgtest" program has been around for a

      * Run apt-ftparchive for local debs on testbed instead of host.
        This is slightly more correct as it will produce the format that the
        testbed's apt expects (although that doesn't matter much). It also
        allows autopkgtest to be run on non-Debian hosts.

      * ssh: Fix result of tests that break the testbed. (LP: #1630578)
      * qemu: Fix user/password login mode without a ttyS1 root shell.
         - Concatenate bytes with each other, not a str to a byte.
         - Sync/flush console after sending password and ttyS1 shell command, wait
           until login is complete before continuing.
         - Send password to sudo for ttyS1 shell command, to also work with
           password-requiring sudo. (LP: #1630963)
      * qemu: Fix reboot in user/password login mode.
      * ssh: Add --capability option.
        This is useful to run tests which require an isolation level or have
        breaks-testbed without a setup script.
      * autopkgtest-build-lxd: Ask "lxc profile" for default bridge instead of
        /etc/default/lxd-bridge. The latter went away in recent LXD versions, and
        "lxc profile show default" also works in earlier versions.
      * Make --apt-upgrade consider a "404" error as test failure.
        Previously all errors from "apt-get update" were considered temporary
        failures, i. e. the setup command always exited with 1. But if we specify
        e. g. a nonexisting release from a distro or a PPA, this won't just go
        away by itself -- we want the test to actually fail instead of getting
        stuck in an eternal "retry on temporary failures" loop.

      * qemu: put the shared directory in /run. If the virtual machine's root
        filesystem is read-only, we won't be able to create /autopkgtest.
      * qemu: Move eofcat into /tmp. This avoids having to write it to /bin, which
        might be read-only.  Re-create eofcat on every boot for this.
      * source_rules_command: log the result we got if it is not as expected
        (Closes: #842302)
      * Add 'needs-reboot' restriction. This allows tests to be explicit about
        needing to reboot the machine, rather than assuming that
        'isolation-machine' is enough. It is plumbed into the existing 'reboot'
        capability, which is distinct from 'isolation-machine'.
        (Closes: #842300)
      * Add --setup-commands-boot for commands that must be run at every boot.
        This can be used for doing "mount -o remount,rw /" before any dpkg
        operation, or transient setup like writing files into /run/.

      * ssh-setup/nova: Move to python3 and to current -novaclient API

        30 seconds might not be enough when running big schroots on slow disks.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Add --nova-reboot option.
        In some clouds using "nova reboot --poll" waits several minutes until
        after the machine is actually up again. OTOH a simple "reboot" inside some
        other clouds causes network to break after "reboot". As there is no method
        that works everywhere, default to the autopkgtest-virt-ssh behaviour again
        ("reboot" and wait for ssh), and add an option to use "nova reboot"
        instead.

        (autopkgtest exit code 12) instead of a transient testbed failure (exit
        code 16). This allows setup commands to detect errors which should be
        attributed to the tested package itself (like dist-upgrading to the new

        - The order of arguments is not relevant any more

          tested source/binary packages is detected automatically
        - The virtualization server is now separated with a double instead of a
          tripe dash, as the former is standard Unix syntax.
        - The virtualization server must be specified with its "short" name only,
          e. g. "ssh" instead of "adt-virt-ssh".

      * Fix "apt-get source" version detection:
        - Ignore source record "Binary:" entries which are not actually binaries
          of that source.
        - Take the highest source version of all encountered binaries. In other
          words, as soon as apt pinning uses one package from -proposed, use the
          tests from -proposed too.
        - Only consider binaries which exist in all releases. This avoids newly
          introduced binaries (library transitions, new kernel versions) to skew
          the intended apt pinning as they would always win the "highest version"
          check from above.

      New features/behaviour changes:
      * Add adt-virt-lxd runner for LXD. (LP: #1519677)
      * Add adt-build-lxd tool for building or updating an LXD image with
        standard autopkgtest customizations applied. This is similar to
        adt-build-lxc.
      * Unify test bed setup scripts for VMs (adt-setup-vm), containers (in
        adt-build-lxc) and cloud (setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup) into a common
        script setup-commands/setup-testbed. This will work both for image
        building (VM, cloud, LXC, LXD) and as --setup-commands (in which case some
        actions are skipped).
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Clean up many more packages. Only do this
        when building an image, to avoid accidentally destroying testbeds which
        are not minimal autopkgtest ones.
      * Make --env apply to package builds too. With that you can e. g. set
        DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
      * Add new action type --git-source which installs git (unless already
        present), checks out a remote branch, and then behaves like
        --unbuilt-tree.
      * adt-virt-lxc.1: Mention adt-build-lxc in "Requirements".
    
      Bug fixes:
      * If apt-get fails when installing test dependencies and apt
        pinning is in use, also retry without pinning. This was already done in
        the case of apt-get succeeding but removing our "satdep" dummy package
        (the common case), but this does not cover upgrades of Priority: >=
        important packages which make apt-get exit with non-zero.
      * Set $TERM in testbed to the host's value when starting an interactive
        shell in the testbed. This fixes broken shells with the LXC/LXD runners.

      * tools/adt-build-lxc: Install libpam-systemd; some tests expect to have an
        $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
      * Fix --apt-pocket=proposed=pkgname.. to set up the apt pinning before
        running setup-commands (in particular, dist-upgrade), as otherwise the
        dist-ugprade will install package versions that conflict with the pinning.
        Change --apt-pocket to download (only) the apt indexes for the given
        pocket, so that we can set up the pinning correctly.
      * ssh-setup-nova: Separately track server UUID, to avoid resetting the
        originally given --name on testbed revert.
      * If apt-get fails for --apt-pocket ("Hash sum mismatch"!), retry up to
        three times.
      * Fix parsing of "apt-cache showsrc" to not get broken by wrapped lines.
        Thanks Andy Whitcroft! (LP: #1522469)
      * Don't try to "cd ." on testbeds in source rules commands, as this might be
        inaccessible in some cases. Default to '/' instead. Thanks Christopher
        Baine!
      * ssh-setup/nova: Treat --image value as a regexp pattern and use the
        greatest (by string sorting) result. This avoids having to put date stamps
        into the command line, and also avoids completely falling over if two
        images have the same name.
      * Add a new ssh setup script command "debug-failure" which is called when
        the setup script fails with nonzero or on timeouts waiting for ssh or
        reboot.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Implement "debug-failure" command with "nova console-log".
      * tools/adt-build-lxc: Only install libpam-systemd if that exists (e. g. not
        on Ubuntu 12.04).

        to avoid breaking apt upgrades. Instead, create
        /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic.
      * Create a testinfo.json for "badpkg" and other exit codes as well.
      * Set stdin to /dev/null when running commands in the testbed. This avoids
        hanging tests on interactive questions and also fixes auxverbs which check
        if stdin is a PTY (like "lxc exec").
      * tests/testarchive.py: Don't include the "Release" file into itself.

      * ssh-setup/nova: Provide custom implementation of "wait-reboot" using "nova
        reboot --poll". This works more reliably on some clouds.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Call "nova boot" with --debug to better be able to
        diagnose failures.
      * Extend --apt-pocket=POCKET option to accept an additional
        "=pkgname1,src:srcname1,..." package list. An entry "src:srcname" expands
        to all binary packages built by that source. If given, set up apt pinning
        to use only those packages from POCKET, so that package updates in that

      Behaviour changes and improvements:

        5 minutes in between. This occasionally fails due to exceeding quota or
        temporary glitches.
      * Drop gpg-signing local archive and mark it as [trusted=yes] instead. This

      * setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Purge cloud-init too. It sometimes causes
        longer hangs on boot and might interfere with tests in other ways, and we
        only need it for first-time initialization anyway.

      * ssh-setup/nova: Add -e/--env option to append to /etc/environment. This is
        mostly useful to configure $http_proxy and friends.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Add --mirror option.
      * Add setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: --setup-commands script for cloud
        instances to prepare them for running autopkgtests. This is similar to
        adt-setup-vm, but won't configure serial console or networking.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * adt-setup-vm: Print a warning if calling update-grub fails, instead of
        aborting. This fixes vmdebootstrap --grub, as that installs grub after
        running the customization script. Adjust adt-virt-qemu.1 manpage to
        recommend the --grub option of vmdebootstrap.
      * testdesc.py, parse_rfc822(): Entirely ignore lines which only contain
        whitespace after filtering out intra-line comments. They break
        continuation line parsing in python-debian >= 0.1.23. (Closes: #784942)

      Improvements:
      * adt-virt-ssh: Add --reboot option to indicate that testbed can be
        rebooted. This is useful when running without a setup script (which can
        already declare capabilities).
      * Simplify reboot implementation: Just call "reboot" as root in the testbed
        to trigger rebooting, and replace the former hook_reboot() in adt-virt-*
        with hook_wait_reboot() which merely waits for the testbed to go down and
        come back up. This also replaces the "reboot" command for ssh setup
        scripts to "wait-reboot" and in most cases it is not needed to implement
        this at all (except for the "adb" script).
      * Add /tmp/autopkgtest-reboot-prepare script for testbeds which support
        rebooting. This saves the current state but leaves the actual reboot to
        the test itself. This is useful if rebooting should happen with unusual
        means (e. g. kexec) or as part of testing something else (like a system
        upgrade). (LP: #1445819)

        with -i/--image, or constructs a temporary one using ubuntu-device-flash
        (which caches its downloads and is fast).
      * adt-run autopkgtest: Install ubuntu-device-flash and qemu-kvm if
        available, to run the snappy ssh script tests under autopkgtest in Ubuntu.
      * ssh setup script "reboot" commands can now simply "exit 10" if they want
        adt-run to just call "reboot" through ssh, instead of having a custom
        implementation.

        Fixes root capability detection for setup scripts which don't already wait
        for ssh themselves.

        eatmydata into containers. For Ubuntu, stop installing the default
        $packages_template (which is ssh,vim).
      * adt-virt-lxc: Pass any additional options/arguments (after --) verbatim to
        lxc-start{,-ephemeral}.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Stop running ephemeral containers with --keep-data by
        default, as this makes them unnecessarily slow due to running on disk.
        Environments with little RAM are instead advised to explicitly supply this
        or --storage-type as extra arguments.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * Create autopkgtest-reboot command in /tmp, as /sbin/ might be read-only
        (and /run is usually "noexec", so we can't put it there either). Write it
        with "noclobber" to guard against symlink attacks.
      * During reboot, if /var/cache/ isn't writable (as on Ubuntu touch images,
        argh), fall back to saving the current temp dir in /home.
      * adt-virt-ssh: Recreate the sudo wrapper after reboot, as it is in /tmp.

      * When not logging to a file, colorize adt-run debug/info/warning/error
        messages to better tell them apart from from apt and test output.
      * adt-virt-schroot: Simplify determination of schroot session location.
      * adt-virt-chroot: Drop support for dchroot arguments. dchroot has been
        obsoleted by schroot for a long time now, and isn't being tested by the
        developers. Allow relative chroot paths.
      * adt-virt-ssh: Rewrite adt-ssh-wrapper to not call the readlink command on
        every single /proc/*/fd/*. This is too slow on devices like Ubuntu Touch,
        where it adds an extra ~ 5 seconds to every command.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Drop --rw and --apt-update options. They stopped working
        when adb switched to running as user, and can be done with
        --setup-commands.
      * Recognize Perl modules in temp dir install mode.
      * Consider programs in the temp dir install tree for preparing the source
        package. This makes it possible to run --source or --apt-source tests in
        read-only environments without dpkg-dev installed. (LP: #1383878)
      * With --apt-upgrade, retry apt-get update a third time after one minute.
        With just a second try we still get occasional hash sum mismatches.
      * Recognize Qt plugins in the temp dir install tree, so that autopilot tests
        work on images which don't have autopilot-qt installed any more.
      * Remove the "adt-satdep" package after test installation finished, to avoid
        tests being confused about an unexpected package.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Drop "autopilot --dbus-probe enable" call. It wastes some
        1.5 minutes and is not needed any more, as we now reconfigure AppArmor for
        the particular clicks that we want to test.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * adt-virt-ssh: Terminate the ssh connection muxer on cleanup. Fixes eternal
        hangs on waiting for tee with the --output-dir option, as the muxer
        inherits our stderr. (LP: #1384324)

        randomly.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Quiesce some noise from various phablet-config/gdbus/adb
        commands.
      * ssh-setup/adb: If the welcome wizard is already running, just kill that

      * adt-virt-ssh: Refactor code so that setup script's "revert" commands can
        update/refresh the ssh config. Often revert translates to close and
        re-open, which changes the IP. Update manpage and ssh-setup/SKELETON
        accordingly.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Make parsing commands work with mawk too, to avoid
        depending on gawk.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Implement a simple revert by a simple teardown/providing a

        avoids one round of expensive large copying for the ssh and qemu runners.

        source dir but relative to the current dir where adt-run is called.
    
      ssh-setup/nova fixes:
      * Add -N/--net-id argument for OpenStack deployments which require setting
        an explicit --nic net-id.
      * Stop using nova boot's --file option, it does not work any more (see

        more.
      * Fix unity8 restart after disabling first-time wizard to work on current
        Ubuntu Touch images.
      * Wait until com.canonical.UnityGreeter becomes available. This is a better
        way to wait for the desktop to be started up, and also reliably unlocks
        the greeter.
      * During revert, don't fail if there are no configured networks.
      * Add -b/--reboot option to reboot the device before running the test.
      * Disable --reset option for now; it is broken as it does not restore the

        good enough for most cases in r/o mode.
    
      adt-virt-ssh fixes:

      * When logging output to a file, properly close the "tee" processes' stdin

  • autopkgtest (3.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      Improvements:
      * Define "Classes:" (Debian) / "classes" (click manifest) test control field
        in the specifications. For packages whose tests should run on particular/a
        set of different hardware/platforms, this can specify a list of abstract
        class names such as "desktop" or "graphics-driver". Consumers of
        autopkgtest can then map these class names to particular
        machines/platforms/policies.
      * Fall back to searching for --setup-commands files in
        /usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/ if they are specified without path,
        to reduce typing.
      * Fall back to searching adt-virt-ssh's --setup-script in
        /usr/share/autopkgtest/ssh-setup/ if they don't exist in the current
        directory, to reduce typing.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * When running a test as user on a root testbed, run source extraction under
        set -e, to fail early at the proper error. (LP: #1346388)
      * Add test case for non-existing --apt-source package name.
      * Add "installed" autopkgtest to run adt-run against a simple source tree in

      Improvements:
      * Add --copy option to copy a file or directory into the testbed.
      * Support specifying a click name like "com.example.myapp" with --click to
        test an already installed click instead of a local *.click file.
        (LP: #1338899)
      * Introduce "autopilot_module" click test control field for specifying an
        autopilot test module name. This allows tests to require additional test
        dependencies, restrictions, etc. without having to specify the full
        invocation of autopilot. (LP: #1338911)
      * In "unpack into temp dir" mode, ignore Python 2.x test dependencies. They
        are not exposed anyway as with $PYTHONPATH we can only serve one major
        Python version, and we want Python 3.
      * Port remaining runners from obsolete optparse to modern argparse. This
        gives a consistent command line help and support for reading options from
        a file with '@'.
      * Port adt-run to argparse, and clean up the CLI:
        - Drop rarely used and confusing options: --instantiate, --sources-tests,
        --sources-no-tests, --built-binaries-filter,
        --binaries{,-forbuilds,-fortests}. Add a single new --built-binaries as
          the opposite of -B/--no-built-binaries.
        - CLI parsing is now done in lib/adt_run_args.py, with separate unit
          tests.
        - This now allows any part of the command line (for adt-run itself or the
          virt-server or both) to be read from a file, using the '@' prefix.
          (Closes: #749241)
        - Separate the options into different logical groups, in both --help and
          the manpage.
      * Make --override-control work for click manifests. (LP: #1342818)
      * Introduce "Test-Command:" debian/tests/control field to run a shell
        command instead of a "Tests" named executable. This avoids having to write
        trivial one-liner scripts or allows wrapping calls to test executables.

      Bug fixes:
      * Set $USER environment variable also for tests that run as root.
        (LP: #1337802)
      * Add lintian override for ssh-setup/SKELETON, it's deliberately not
        executable.
      * Increase timeout for aa-clickhook workaround for LP#1337253, 100s is often
        not enough.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Disabling the first-time wizards sometimes fails due to adb
        being brittle at that time. Retry up to 5 times.
      * Optimize aa-clickhook workaround for LP #1337253 to only rebuild the
        profile of the installed click app. This reduces the time from about a
        minute to about a second.
      * qemu, lxc: Use VirtSubproc subprocess wrappers to get timeout handling for
        all commands.
      * Rewrite build depends to not rely on builders being able to fall back to
        alternatives (python >= 3.3 | python3-mock), to ease backporting.
      * tests/pyflakes: Use pyflakes3.
      * Only run pyflakes test during package build if pyflakes3 is available.
        This unbreaks backports.

        now, either installed as package or from bzr checkout with

      * lib/testdesc.py: Change exceptions to be Python 3.2 compatible.
      * Kill the actual test on timeout instead of just the wrapping shell script.
      * Fix workaround for LP #1333215: Don't run with "su -l" as that causes
        extra stdout spew from su for nonexisting home directories; instead just
        source /etc/profile and ~/.profile as these are the parts that we need.
      * Run aa-clickhook after every click install, otherwise it doesn't apply to
        newly installed clicks. Works around LP #1337253.
      * Open files which can potentially contain non-ASCII data with explicit

  • autopkgtest (3.0) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      Improvements:
      * Add support for click packages (https://click.readthedocs.org):
        - Add two new actions --click and --click-source to run tests of a click
          package. For now, --click-source is mandatory as parsing/getting the
          source from a click's x-source manifest entry is not yet implemented.
        - Add doc/README.click-tests.rst to document test definition for click
          packages.
        - Add setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: --setup-commands script for
          installing click, the Ubuntu SDK, some extra packages for autopilot, and
          launching Xvfb and an user upstart session. This approximates the
          environment of an Ubuntu touch device. You can also run
          setup-commands/ro-apt afterwards.
      * If the testbed does not have root (null runner or schroots without
          root-user/group) or a writable dpkg database (as on Ubuntu system
          images), fall back to unpacking test dependencies into a temporary
          directory and set *_PATH environment variables accordingly. This will
          make a limited number of test dependencies work in these test beds.
      * Add setup-commands/ro-apt for making dpkg/apt readonly, to
        approximate what happens with Ubuntu system images.
    
      * Add adt-virt-ssh runner: Generic runner for an externally set up testbed
        which assumes nothing else than a working ssh connection. This can call a
        "setup script" to create/configure a testbed (such as spinning up a cloud
        VM with nova or setting up SSH on a phone through ADB). See the manpage
        for details. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!
      * Add ssh-setup/SKELETON for a basis to write ssh setup scripts.
      * Add ssh-setup/adb: Set up an ssh connection to an adb host. If that adb
        host is an Ubuntu Touch system, it also does some extra configuration like
        disabling the screen timeout and allowing Autopilot to introspect running
        apps. See header commends for details. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!
      * Add ssh-setup/nova: Sets up a nova instance to use as an autopkgtest
        testbed. It assumes that the host system is already prepared to run nova
        commands. This is not very robust at the moment and more like a proof of
        concept. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!
    
      * Convert doc/README.* to reStructuredText and rename to *.rst. Build HTML
        files from them using rst2html and install them also.
      * adt-run: Never run testbed commands with newlines in them. Those make it
        ridiculously hard to implement runners which can only accept shell
        strings.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * lxc: Don't leak the host environment into the container (lxc-attach
        currently defaults to that), but build a clean and minimal environment
        from /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale.
      * Fix calling a virt server with full path.
      * lib/VirtSubProc.py, downtmp_remove(): Only remove the downtmp if it is
        actually set. This avoids confusing error messages if something fails
        during early test bed setup.
      * adt-run: set APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none when installing packages. This
        will avoid the apt-listbugs prompt when apt-listbugs is installed.
        Thanks to Antonio Terceiro!
      * schroot: Ending the schroot session sometimes fails on "Device or resource
        busy". Retry 10 times before giving up instead of failing immediately.
      * adt-run: Read /etc/profile and ~/.profile when running tests as user. This
        emulates the bits of "su -l" that we want, until this gets cleaned up for
        using "su -l" completely.
      * tests/run-parallel: Get sudo password early, to avoid asking for it in
        background jobs.
      * Restrict --apt-pocket to *.ubuntu.com and *.debian.org sources, as
        third-party repositories such as launchpad.net don't (necessarily) have
        pockets. (LP: #1334332)

      Improvements:
      * Add "Test" argument/member for a shell string command, instead of
        specifying a path to a test executable. Not currently supported by Debian
        parser.
      * Convert doc/README.* to Markdown, so that it's easy to format them as PDF
        or HTML, e. g. with pandoc.
      * If the --user option is given or the testbed specifies a normal user, pass
        this to --setup-commands through $ADT_NORMAL_USER.
      * Allow --setup-commands which would ordinarily reboot the testbed to
        suppress this by creating a stamp file in /run. This is useful for
        commands which run processes that aren't started at boot.
      * Default to C.UTF-8 locale instead of C. This is supported in Debian >= 7
        (wheezy) and Ubuntu >= 12.04 LTS, and much closer to reality than C.

        is done, not while it's still running.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Create upstart job for ttyS0 console unless it
        already exists, for compatibility with Ubuntu 12.04.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Use python3 or python for eofcat depending on which one is

      * Unify logging functions into lib/adtlog.py, make their API easier and more
        consistent, and use them in adt-run and all adt-virt-*.
      * Move test control parsing and keeping data into lib/testdesc.py. This
        eases factorization, abstraction for future support of other source
        package formats such as click, and testing. Add new tests/testdesc
        unittests. This also drops the "tree0t-" like prefixes from test names in

      * Some test robustifications, to avoid making too many assumptions about
        debug output.
      * adt-run: Eliminate usage of testbed "execute" command, which is too
        complicated and limiting. Use "print-execute-command" directly instead.

        current users, and no maintainer. (Closes: #508660, #680122)
      * Simplify build system.
      * Drop concept of "shstring". All runners must provide an auxverb now,
        possibly with a wrapper and quoting by themselves if their implementation
        can only deal with shell commands. This avoids having to tell apart these
        two cases in adt-run, clarifies the documentation, and greatly simplifies
        the code. (Closes: #750544)
      * qemu: Use low-level IO in runcmd.  This avoids all the Python overhead and
        buffering and is less prone to bytes vs. string issues.
      * qemu: Fix text vs. binary confusion in reading and copying /etc/timezone.
      * schroot: Call schroot command with -q, to avoid stderr spew if the schroot
        has "message-verbosity=verbose".

      * When cleaning up a temporary testbed path fails with a permission error,

      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

      * Add adt-virt-qemu: Virtualization server using QEMU. This provides even
        more isolation than containers and thus is able to run tests which
        interact with the kernel. See the manpage for the requirements that VMs
        need to satisfy, and how to use it. (Closes: #719215)
      * Add adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: This tool downloads an Ubuntu cloud image
        and configures it for autopkgtest. See its manpage for how to use it.
      * adt-run: Stop using a $TMPDIR for package builds. It's unnecessary
        overhead, and causes problems with dpkg-deb if it is on e. g. a 9p file
        system.
      * Allow the virt-server argument to be given without the common "adt-virt-"
        prefix, for brevity. Update the manpage accordingly, and also move
        virt-server into its own heading instead of burying it in the middle of
        "other options".
      * tests: Show stderr output if adt-run unexpectedly fails.
      * Fix endless recursion when an error happens during resetting apt.
      * tests: Fix skip message if no container is given; it does not need to be
        an Ubuntu cloud container any more.

  • autopkgtest (2.7) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * adt-virt-lxc: Drop all the file-based checks for container bootup, and
        replace with "lxc-attach runlevel" to wait until the container booted to a
        numeric runlevel. This greatly simplifies the logic and drops the
        cloud-init requirement so that this runner is now suitable for Debian or
        debootstrap-based Ubuntu containers. (LP: #1273725)
      * adt-virt-lxc.1: Drop --gain-root in notes/example. It's unnecessary
        (adt-run will install fakeroot if missing) and confusing (as it's not
        related to LXC specifically and otherwise not really used/useful).
      * adt-virt-lxc.1: Add example how to create a Debian container, and some
        cleanup of obsolete commentary.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Add -s/--sudo option to run lxc-* commands through sudo; use
        this option if you run adt-run as normal user, but need to run the
        container itself as root (if you use LXC system-level containers).
        This drops the hardcoded sudo commands and thus the dependency on sudo,
        which is more palatable for Debian. (LP: #1273977)
      * adt-virt-lxc: Add -e shortcut for --ephemeral, as this is an option which
        you pretty much always want.
      * adt-virt-lxc.1: Move more important options to the top.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Stop hardcoding the "ubuntu" suggested normal user; instead,
        call "getent passwd" to detect the first user with uid >= 500. Don't
        advertise suggested-normal-user if none exists.
      * adt-run: Rearrange finalizing options and reading capabilities to happen
        after testbed opening. That allows the testbed to determine its full
        capablities in its open hook.
      * adt-run: Call dpkg-source --before-build for --unbuilt-tree arguments, to
        ensure that patches are applied for "3.0 (quilt)" source trees. This is
        useful to test *-buildpackage source trees where patches don't get

      * adt-run: For copydown(), always chown the testbed files to the non-root
        user (if available). This fixes a "Permission denied" error with the
        schroot or LXC runners and --unbuilt-tree if the source tree has tight
        permissions. (LP: #1266811)
      * Adjust LxcRunner.test_tree_built_binaries to also work with current apt
        (similar to commit 5798b7f for the schroot runner).
      * adt-virt-lxc: Call "sudo test" and "sudo readlink" instead of os.lexists()
        and os.readlink() as recent LXC now makes the default container dir
        /var/lib/lxc not readably by non-users. Fixes running adt-virt-lxc/adt-run

  • autopkgtest (2.6) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      New features:
      * Add --apt-source option as an alternative for --source, implied if
        argument is a valid package name. It calls "apt-get source" in the testbed
        instead of using a .dsc from the host, which for the common case of
        testing packages in the acual archive avoids having to manually download
        the source and then copying it into the testbed. This simplifies the
        command line for running tests for a package in the archive to
        "adt-run mypkgname --- adt-virt-[...]".
      * Add --setup-commands option to run things like "apt-get update" or adding
        apt sources after opening the testbed.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * adt-virt-lxc: Stop assuming that containers live in /var/lib/lxc/; ask
        lxc-config about the root path instead.
      * Only reset the test bed after the build stage if builds actually happened.
      * Reset the test bed after running a test group, to avoid an unnecessary
        setup if there is just one test.
      * Don't put an empty "binaries" directory into the output directory.

  • autopkgtest (2.5) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      Behaviour changes:
      * Drop --output-dir option. It has never really been useful as it only works
        for paths in the testbed, has a confusing semantics, is redundant with
        --tmp-dir, and currently even crashes adt-run. (Closes: #729790)
      * Rename --tmp-dir option to --output-dir, as its main purpose is really to
        collect test artifacts. Keep --tmp-dir alias for backwards compatibility.
      * Drop --override-control option. It complicates the code too much for its
        very limited utility, and it was not even documented in the manpage.
      * Drop --paths-testbed (and thus also --paths-host) options. There is no
        use case for them.
      * Add short options for common command line options: -B for
        --no-built-binaries, -o for --output-dir, -l for --log-file,
        -u for --user.
      * Clean up uninteresting files from --output-dir directory.
      * Tests which want to create additional artifacts can now put them into the
        $ADT_ARTIFACTS directory. When using the --output-dir option, they will be
        copied into <outputdir>/artifacts/. Document this new feature in
        README.package-tests. (LP: #1137763)
    
      Packaging changes:

        drop their overrides in debian/rules
      * Move debian/rules to using dh.
      * Add ./run-from-checkout script to run adt-run from the git checkout or
        source package. Change tests/adt-run to use it.
      * Add tests/run-parallel to run tests for different runners in parallel.

      * Add bandaid to avoid mixing order of stdout and stderr in the log file
        when reporting results.
    
      Code cleanup:
      * Simplify logging by dropping the explicit functions for writing to stderr
        plus log, and instead set up pipes so that the whole stdout/stderr will be
        tee'd into the logfile.
      * Replace the usage of the AutoFile classes (which are underdocumented,
        magic, and hard to understand) with a more explicit and much simpler
        TestbedPath class.
      * Stop installing the redundant /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90autopkgtest into
        testbeds, and simplify invocation of apt-get.

        runner provides "revert" and "revert-full-system" capabilities which is
        useful for packages which have the "breaks-testbed" restriction and
        multiple tests. For the time being this only works with the ubuntu-cloud
        template; support for general debian/ubuntu containers requires an
        lxc-wait mechanism ("did the container finish booting?") and getting along
        with the different user setups (debian using "root",  ubuntu using an
        "ubuntu" user with sudo capabilities).

      * Kill the tee child process if the testbed bombs out (e. g. due to a

        handling.

  • autopkgtest (2.3.4) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Add tests/testpkg/: Simple source package for testing autopkgtest.
      * Add tests/adt-run: Automatic regression tests for adt-run, covering/using
        the null runner.
      * Add debian/tests: autopkgtest for autopkgtest, using tests/adt-run.
      * Make topmost temporary directory group/world-readable and make $ADTTMP
        have appropriate 1777 permissions so that users other than root can
        actually use it. (Closes: #722458)
      * Don't clip first stderr line to 35 characters in summary. (Side issue in
        #722457)
      * Don't show shell tracing of script that creates the temporary directories.
      * Move unimportant messages to debug level 1, to not clutter up default
        output so much.
      * Drop unnecessary "trace: " from adt-run debug/progress lines.
      * Show stdout/err of the running tests in realtime, which is much nicer for
        watching. Don't split that realtime output, so that stderr messages appear
        in the right context. Show separate stderr if and only if the allow-stderr
        restriction is not set and there is stderr output. (Closes: #722457)
      * For tests with "build-needed", actually run the tests in the built
        directory, not in the original unbuilt tree. (Closes: #711209)
      * Fix various unknown and unused symbols throughout the source, spotted by
        pyflakes.
      * Add tests/pyflakes: Run pyflakes over source and test code.
      * Add tests/pep8: Run pep8 over source and test code.
      * Support empty "Depends:" test control field, installing no dependencies in
        that case.
      * README.package-tests: Point out that you can use upper-case test names as
        well. Update test_tree_tmp_dir() test to use these, to ensure it stays
        working. (Closes: #711844)
      * Some code cleanups:
        - Don't rename modules on import.
        - Format to be PEP-8 compliant.
        - Rename first argument of methods to "self", as that's the wide
          convention, gets rid of some single-letter variable names, and makes it
          a bit easier to see which variables refer to foreign objects.
      * Run tests/pep8 and tests/pyflakes during package build.

      * adt-run: Support older python-debian versions whose module was still
        called "debian_bundle". (Closes: #717191)
      * runner/adt-run: Correctly re-raise exception on some register failure
        errors. Thanks Robie Basak!
      * runner/adt-run: Short-circuit publishing if there are no registered built
        binaries. This is the step that takes by far the longest time for short
        tests, and thus speeds up test running significantly.
      * runner/adt-run: Set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive for installing build or
        test dependencies, too. Thanks Robie Basak! (LP: #1204989)

        and blocking migration to release until tests pass. (LP: #381210)

      * runner/adt-run: Fix timeout --help output.
      * runner/adt-run: Fix bomb() to clean up the testbed before removing it.
        Afterwards (in cleanup()) we don't have a testbed object any more to run
        commands in. (LP: #1157292)
      * runner/adt-run: Fix UnicodeDecodeError crash if stderr contains non-ASCII
        characters. (LP: #1100283)
      * Add "allow-stderr" restriction for tests where re-routing or disabling
        stderr is impractical. (LP: #1197005)
      * runner-adt-run: Support architecture specifiers in Depends: field.

        Well, actually, that's just according to the spec.  In reality, for
        backward compatibity, we provide each test script with both (pointing
        to different directories so that tests don't need to worry about
        possible filename clashes between ADTTMP and TMPDIR).
