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)

  [ Paul Gevers ]
  * testbed: Fix creation of apt preferences for suites with a dot in
    the name

  [ Paride Legovini ]
  * qemu: Detect ppc64le host as able to run ppc64le qemu with KVM
    enabled (Closes: #1019189, LP: #1988527)

 -- Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>  Sun, 25 Sep 2022 10:35:21 +0100

autopkgtest (5.25) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * 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
    Thanks: Paride Legovini

autopkgtest (5.24) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jochen Sprickerhof ]
  * Install unshare-helper, fixing virt-unshare regression in 5.23

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * virt-lxc: fix handling of --sudo when waiting for testbed to boot
    (Closes: #1017017)

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * virt-unshare: Create mount point for --bind if necessary

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * testdesc: Represent restrictions and features as sets
  * testdesc: Check restrictions vs. capabilities in a data-driven way
  * 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)
    - d/tests: Correct SPDX license name

 -- Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>  Fri, 12 Aug 2022 09:39:40 +0100

autopkgtest (5.23) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Iñaki Malerba, Chris Kuehl, Felipe Sateler, Simon McVittie ]
  * 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.
    (Closes: #1011202)
  * Load setup commands from the source tree if running uninstalled
  * Don't recurse or crash if auxverb_debug_fail fails
  * virt-lxc, virt-lxd: Factor out code to wait for container to boot.
    virt-lxc, virt-lxd and podman --init all want to do the same thing.
  * 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
  * Documentation:
    - d/README.source: Refer to latest Debian stable and Ubuntu LTS
    - d/README.source: Don't recommend manual setup for lxc networking,
      no longer needed
    - d/README.source: Describe how to run unit tests
    - Fix name of build-needed restriction in man page
  * Clean up dead code:
    - Remove support for click and Ubuntu Mobile.
      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.
      (Closes: #1011207)
    - Remove internal support for obsolete actions from the pre-2017
      adt-run CLI

autopkgtest (5.17) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * Use 32-bit OVMF EFI firmware for qemu-system-i386 (Closes: #973522)
  * qemu: Explicitly assign unit numbers for pflash devices

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * lxd: Fix a race condition while rebooting
  * buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Update for compatibility with other changes
    mentioned below
  * ssh-setup/nova: Quote arguments to `tr`

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * VirtSubproc: Allow expecting multiple options
  * virt-qemu: Cope with passwordless shell (blank password)
  * virt-qemu: Don't rely on exiting from a shell printing "logout"
  * virt-qemu: Preseed debconf questions so we can upgrade grub-pc, if
    installed (Closes: #982296)
  * virt-qemu: Add --qemu-architecture, --dpkg-architecture options
  * virt-qemu: Load virtio_console in initramfs to make sure it's ready
    when systemd-getty-generator(8) looks for it (workaround for #689962)
  * virt-qemu: Improve reliability of interactions with serial console shell
  * build-qemu: Automatically run under fakemachine if not uid 0
  * build-qemu: Convert image into an absolute path.
    This helps when we're sharing directories as "volumes" with fakemachine.
    The working directory inside fakemachine isn't necessarily the same as
    the working directory outside, leading to the output image being
    written somewhere unintended.
  * build-qemu: Show the log from vmdb2 if it fails
  * build-qemu: Placate pycodestyle
  * build-qemu: Never set http_proxy to DIRECT.
    The special keyword DIRECT is understood by apt, but not by generic
    http clients, and in particular not understood by wget (used by
    debootstrap).
  * Use `command -v` in preference to `which`.
    In Debian, which(1) is provided by the Essential debianutils package,
    which recently deprecated it. Silence the resulting warnings by doing
    this in a slightly less obvious way.

  [ Simon McVittie, Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * setup-testbed: Try to put Linux console on both ttyS0 and hvc0.
    ttyS0 is PC-specific, hvc0 is a generic hypervisor console available
    on multiple hypervisors.
  * setup-testbed: Put root shells on both ttyS1 and hvc1 if they exist.
    ttyS1 is PC-specific, hvc1 is a generic hypervisor console available
    on multiple hypervisors.
  * virt-qemu: Only -enable-kvm if VM is compatible with host architecture
  * virt-qemu: Add --boot=efi (formerly --efi)
  * build-qemu: Add --boot=efi to build images bootable with EFI.
    This requires vmdb2 0.22-1~ or newer.
  * qemu: armhf and aarch64 support (Closes: #973038, #973663)
    - Boot with EFI by default
    - Build images with EFI by default (Closes: #990415)
    - Use ttyAMA0 as the ARM equivalent of ttyS0
    - Default to -machine virt, since there is no default in qemu
    - Default to qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu host,aarch64=off -enable-kvm
      for armhf on aarch64 host, because qemu-system-arm -enable-kvm is
      not available on aarch64 hosts
    - Default to -cpu host -enable-kvm for aarch64 on aarch64 host
    - Default to -cpu cortex-a53 for aarch64 on non-aarch64 host
      since that CPU seems to work well
    Thanks to Christian Kastner, Peter Maydell and Steve McIntyre.

  [ Simon McVittie, Thierry Fauck, Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * qemu: ppc64el support (Closes: #926945)
    - Install grub-ieee1275 by default
    - Avoid trying to allocate hvc0 as a virtio console.
      The default serial port of a pSeries machine appears as /dev/hvc0,
      and the virtio consoles start from hvc1.
    Thanks to Christian Kastner

  [ Christian Kastner ]
  * qemu: Use -machine q35 on i386 or amd64 when booting with EFI.
    Empirically, it seems to be the minimum required for EFI-booting on
    i386; bump the machine on amd64 too, for consistency.

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * setup-testbed: Remove needrestart so its dpkg hook does not interfere
    with the apt test suite

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Drop obsolete adt-* CLI
    autopkgtest 4.0 with its "autopkgtest" program has been around for a
    year, Debian's and Ubuntu's CI moved to that, and the Debian 9.0 release
    is behind us. Drop "adt-run" and the corresponding adt-virt-* and
    adt-build-* command line interfaces now.
    Add Breaks: for debci for versions that still relied on adt-*.
  * lxc, qemu, ssh: Shorten path of shared directory.
    This helps to reduce socket path lengths in tests.
    (See Debian #860554, LP: #1680577)
  * Drop obsolete ubuntu-touch-session setup script.
    This hasn't been maintained/tested for ages, and with the demise of
    Ubuntu Touch this is now completely obsolete. (Closes: #835836)
  * Avoid bare "except:" clauses
  * tests/autopkgtest_args: pyflakes/pycodestyle fixes
  * tests: Don't run LXC tests with --ephemeral.
    It's not the default and ephemeral containers tend to fail to start too
    often.
  * tests/testpkg: Update Standards-Version and debhelper level.
    Priority "extra" is deprecated, so move to "optional".
  * README.package-tests.rst: Clarify role of control file, add simple
    examples (Closes: #870654)
  * README.package-tests.rst: Update Testsuite: documentation.
    All supported Debian releases now have a new enough dpkg, and Ubuntu
    14.04 will not get new tests any more. (Closes: #876008)
  * 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.
    As apt-utils is not essential, install it if necessary.
  * README.package-tests.rst: Clarify Testsuite: values
    `autopkgtest` is not any more the only defined value for Testsuite:, as
    the paragraph below already explains.
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Look at /etc/os-release for determining
    distribution name. Stop hardcoding "debian|ubuntu|kali" and get this

  * autopkgtest-virt-lxd: Check uptime for reboot waiting. (LP: #1654025)
  * Add a debug-fail hook and implement it for autopkgtest-virt-ssh.
    At the minute, this is mainly so that the nova script can have its
    failure information (`nova console-log') propagated up to the output, so
    that in the case of kernel panics or other random failures we get useful
    output that the driver of autopkgtest (e.g. autopkgtest-cloud) can look
    at. (LP: #1630578)
  * autopkgtest-build-lxd: Allow overriding the target release by setting
    RELEASE=. This will cause the container to be dist-upgraded to the new

    images on images.linuxcontainers.org don't exist yet.

     - 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.

    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'.

  * 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.

  * debian/tests/lxd: Update bridge setup to work with LXD 2.3 and higher.
    This moves from /etc/default/lxd-bridge to lxd-internal configuration.

  [ Barry Warsaw ]
  * Support url#refspec format.
    Fix the bug in the previously supported url#branch syntax, where the code
    expected a space separator but the documentation described the # separator.
    Generalize the approach with an explicit fetch/checkout so that GitHub style PR
    refspecs like "refs/pull/21/head" also work as branch name.

    This hasn't ever been used in production and stopped working long ago.
  * Run tests/autopkgtest_args during package build
  * Put virt servers back into $PATH.
    The virt servers were originally intended to be public API (even though not

    back into /usr/bin, with an "autopkgtest-virt-" prefix to mirror the original
    "adt-virt-" naming. Rename the manpages to match the binaries.

autopkgtest (4.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * If --setup-commands exits with code 100, consider this as a bad package
    (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
    version). Change standard "apt-get update" setup commands to exit with
    code 1 to continue treating that as a temporary failure.
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Remove ubuntu-core-launcher and
    snap-confine.
  * Fix some leftover "adt" → "autopkgtest" in manpages.
  * debian/tests/lxd: Move from adt-build-lxd to autopkgtest-build-lxd.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Use "autopkgtest*" instance name instead of "adt*".
  * Rename temporary "adt-satdep" package to "autopkgtest-satdep".
  * autopkgtest.1: Point out that if a .changes contains only debs, a
    corresponding .dsc must still be provided on the command line.
    (Closes: #828025)
  * autopkgtest.1: Document that if no source is given on the command line,
    the current directory will be tested.
  * debian/tests/installed: Fall back to old $ADT_TMP if $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP is
    not set, to work in debci (which runs an older autopkgtest).

  * Skip tests/autopkgtest NullRunner.test_apt_source_nonexisting test instead
    of failing if there are no deb-src apt sources configured on the host.
  * Add test for correctly parsing version number with less common characters.
  * autopkgtest: If the test argument is a legal apt source name, prefer
    testing that apt source name over testing that directory. If the latter
    is wanted, it can always be prefixed with ./ to disambiguate. Update the
    manpage accordingly.
  * autopkgtest.1: Update separator. (LP: #1591179)
  * Fix "apt-get source" version detection for source packages whose versions
    in different pockets have disjoint sets of binary packages (like Ubuntu's
    linux-raspi2).
  * ssh-setup/nova: If the normal "nova reboot" does not finish after five
    minutes, use the bigger "reboot --hard" hammer. This works around reboot
    bugs on some architectures.
  * Fix "apt-get source" version detection for old (Ubuntu precise) apts which

autopkgtest (4.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add new "autopkgtest" CLI. This provides a simplified CLI compared to the
    now deprecated adt-run:
    - It accepts only exactly one tested source package, and gives a proper
      error if none or more than one (often unintend) is given
    - It defaults to the current directory if that is a Debian source package
    - The order of arguments is not relevant any more
    - Built vs. unbuilt tree is now automatically detected
    - The explicit --source, --click-source etc. options are gone, the type of
      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".
    The old "adt-run" CLI will still be available for some time.
    (Closes: #795274, LP: #1453509)
  * Rename adt-build* tools to autopkgtest-build* and build images prefixed
    with"autopkgtest" instead of "adt". Keep compatibility symlink for the old
    commands, and when being called through them, also produce images with the
    old adt* names.
  * Rename public ADT_* env vars to AUTOPKGTEST_*:
    - AUTOPKGTEST_APT_PROXY
    - AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS
    - AUTOPKGTEST_AUTOPILOT_MODULE
    - AUTOPKGTEST_NORMAL_USER
    - AUTOPKGTEST_REBOOT_MARK
    - AUTOPKGTEST_TMP

  * Use "nproc" to determine the number of processors available, which is both
    more correct in a cgroup world, and also simpler.
  * Add new --build-parallel=N option to explicitly set the "parallel=N"
    $DEB_BUILD_OPTION for building packages, to override the default of
    "number of available CPUs". This is mostly useful in containers where you
    can restrict the available RAM, but not restrict the number of CPUs.

  New features/behaviour changes:

  * adt-virt-lxd: Launch containers in ephemeral mode.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Use the new lxc-copy if available, as lxc-clone and
    lxc-start-ephemeral got deprecated by that. This now supports reboots in
    ephemeral mode.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Add --name option. This allows CI systems to use a more
    expressive name than the autogenerated adt-virt-lxc-XXXXXX, to make it
    easier to map a container to a running test.
  * Add CPU information to testinfo.json: "nproc" (#cpus), "cpu_model", and
    "cpu_flags". (LP: #1552129)
  * Add autopkgtest for adt-build-lxd and the lxd runner.

  [ Christian Seiler ]
  * Support nested KVM by default by emulating a CPU with VMX/SVM support on
    x86_64. (Closes: #800845, part 1)
  * adt-virt-qemu: Provide read-only version of the VM image to the test as
    /dev/baseimage, for tests that want to run nested QEMU. (Closes: #800845)

  Bug fixes:

  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Purge lxd and lxc.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Don't fail on deprecation warnings of lxc-clone and
    lxc-start-ephemeral. (LP: #1549995)
  * Run external commands with /dev/null as stdin. This has always been
    intended, but has not actually been done for a while.
  * Drop support for hook_forked_inchild() in virt-runners. This has never
    been used.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Try and prefer novaclient.v2 API first, and fall back to
    v1_1. (LP: #1552730)
  * Correctly ignore positive and negative build profiles with too old
    libdpkg-perl that does not support them yet.
  * tests/run-parallel: Don't run NullRunner and SchrootRunner tests in
    parallel, as they collide with a bind-mounted /tmp.
  * test_reboot_prepare testcase: Don't compare the host and guest kernel
    versions in the QemuRunner.

  * debian/control: Use https Vcs-* links.
  * Bump debhelper compat level to 9.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Don't assert result of "runlevel" for connection test. This
    is a race condition under systemd as getty starts before default.target
    is fully finished.
  * tests/adt-run SchrootClickRunner: Ensure that the "click" system user
    exists in the schroot, so that it doesn't need to exist on the host.
  * Adjust SchrootRunner.test_apt_pocket_pkg_with_proposed_dep test case for
    apt 1.1.
  * Latest LXD now adds an "images" remote for images.linuxcontainers.org by
    default. Adjust adt-build-lxd.1 and adt-virt-lxd.1 accordingly.
  * Respect $TMPDIR when creating the downtmp and some other directory/files.

autopkgtest (3.19.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * 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.
  * Install /usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/* scripts as executable, to
    make them work for vmdebootstrap --customize. (Closes: #810862)
  * ssh-setup/nova: Use extended RE for matching --image pattern.

  * adt-virt-lxc: Add timeouts to all LXC operations.
  * Fix chowning for "rw-build-tree" restriction: run it as root if available,

  * adt-virt-qemu: If the executed command exits with 255, translate that to
    253 in the auxverb wrapper, as 255 is the exit code for failures of the

    temporary testbed failures. This makes the QEMU runner behave the same way
    as the container ones.
  * tests/adt-run: Factorize common tests into superclasses.
  * doc/README.package-tests.rst: Point out that "Test-Command:" is also
    useful for running the same test script under different interpreters or
    different dependencies. (Closes: #809442)
  * Set summary_stream to None after closing it, to avoid trying to write
    late error messages from cleanup into it.
  * Gracefully handle failure to kill a timed out process.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Use image UUID instead of its name for "nova boot". This
    avoids failures if multiple images have the same name. (LP: #1524216)
  * adt-build-{lxc,lxd}: Run testbed setup scripts also if they are not
    executable. Thanks Antonio Terceiro! (Closes: #809917)
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Run apt-get autoremove when builing images.
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Handle options in sources.list. Thanks
    Antonio Terceiro!
  * tools/adt-build-lxd: Fix error message if apt does not have a proxy set.
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Install linux-headers-generic if there is no
    kernel (for containers), to make DKMS tests work when not being triggered
    by a kernel. (LP: #1531488)
  * tools/adt-build-lxc: Fix removal of LXC caches on btrfs.
  * tools/adt-build-lxc: Use "-B best" for lxc-create, for better performance
    on btrfs or LVM.
  * tools/adt-build-lxc: Fix hostname for updating containers to not end in
    ".new".
  * adt-virt-lxc: Opportunistically try lxc-clone with "-B btrfs", and fall
    back to default backing store if it fails. lxc-clone should do this by
    itself, but currently doesn't (LP #1532125).
  * adt-virt-lxc: Don't fail on stderr of lxc-start, it sometimes prints
    warnings.
  * When using --apt-source with --apt-pocket= with an explicit package list,
    let apt-get source download the source version that matches the pinning.
    This avoids running tests from -proposed against packages in -release.
    (LP: #1517426)
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Don't purge perl and python2.7. This works
    in sid and xenial, but is too greedy for older releases.

autopkgtest (3.19) unstable; urgency=medium

  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.

autopkgtest (3.18.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * 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).
  * setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Don't rm the /etc/cron.daily/apt conffile
    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.
  * Fix SchrootRunner.test_apt_pocket_* test cases to include "Sources" into
    Release file. This makes the tests work with apt 1.1.

  [ Max Brustkern ]
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Add timeout option.

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * adt-build-lxc: Don't hardcode bridge interface.

autopkgtest (3.18.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * With --apt-pocket=POCKET=pkgname,... also include <release>-updates.
  * cloud-vm-setup, adt-setup-vm: Disable /etc/cron.daily/apt.
  * Detect if apt fails to download packages (as opposed to installing them),
    retry up to three times, and eventually fail with exit code 16. This
    avoids failing tests due to DNS/infrastructure problems and handling them
    as tmpfails instead.
  * Add test case for multiple Tests: with --apt-pocket=proposed=pkg
    selection and nonexisting dependency.
  * Properly keep track of apt pinnings across testbed resets.
  * cloud-vm-setup, adt-setup-vm: Purge open-iscsi.
  * Treat apt errors (exit code 100) from source download/extraction as
    tmpfail.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Stop adding apt sources for restricted/multiverse, as
    current images now have them by default (see LP #1177432). This avoids
    duplicate apt sources which cause stderr failure with some tests.
  * Recognize negative architecture restrictions in test Depends:.
    (LP: #1516959)
  * tools/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Counter-hack LP #1510345 harder by
    checking /proc/cmdline instead of /etc/default/grub.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:18:23 +0100

autopkgtest (3.18) unstable; urgency=medium

  Behaviour changes/improvements:
  * adt-virt-lxc: Drop --eatmydata option. Conceptually this isn't specific to
    the LXC runner, it should always be used for package installation (when
    available) with all runners, but never for tests.
  * setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup, tools/adt-setup-vm: Install and use
    eatmydata.
  * Use eatmydata for --apt-upgrade and installing test dependencies, if
    available.
  * 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
    pocket can be tested independently from each other for better isolation.
    (LP: #1503150)
  * Add ssh-setup/maas: Acquire and Deploy a machine via MAAS to use as an
    autopkgtest testbed. It assumes that MaaS is already set up, machines are
    commissioned to it, and you added your ssh key to it.

  Bug fixes:
  * ssh-setup/nova: Drop "Warning: PoC", we've been using this in production
    for a long time.
  * tools/adt-setup-vm: Check if we already have a configuration for the
    specific network interface that we are configuring, not just any
    interface.
  * tools/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Counter-hack the Ubuntu livecd-rootfs
    workaround for LP #1510345 by creating a configuration for ens3 and
    removing the one for eth0.

  * Add tests/testarchive.py module for creating dynamic archives of mock
    debs, and add a full integration test for --apt-pocket.
  * Fix version in adt-run output (@version@ moved to adt_testbed.py).
  * adt-setup-vm, cloud-vm-setup: Purge lxc/lxd.
  * tests/testdesc: Skip Debian.test_builddeps_profiles test if dpkg is too
    old to support build profiles.

  * If copying up files/artifacts through shared dir fails because of
    inaccessible files, fall back to piping them through the auxverb.
  * adt-build-lxc: Install dbus; a lot of software indirectly expects it
    (e. g. calling systemctl as user).
  * tools/adt-setup-vm, setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Purge
    libcpan-changes-perl, it breaks some Perl autopkgtests.
  * tools/adt-setup-vm, setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Purge git, it breaks
    Ruby's autopkgtests.
  * NullRunner.test_tmp_install: Explicitly require Json 1.0 GI version, to
    silence warning with current pygobject.

  * ssh-setup/nova: Use instance UUIDs instead of names after initial "nova
    boot", to avoid name collisions. (LP: #1495788)

    systemd 226-2.
  * adt-setup-vm: Generalize ethernet ifupdown setup for net.ifnames.
  * adt_binaries.py: Fix resetting of testbed (regression in 3.17).

  * setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Provide fallback for Ubuntu 12.04 which
    does not yet have /etc/default/grub.cfg.d/.
  * adt-virt-ssh: Add --timeout-ssh option. Thanks Leo Arias for the initial
    patch. (LP: #1488358)
  * adt-run: Add --env option to pass arbitrary environment variables to the
    test.
  * adt-virt-lxc: In the auxverb, clean up leaked background processes which
    share the same stdout/stderr, to avoid eternal hangs. (LP: #1488359)
  * Move Testbed class and related logic into separate module
    lib/adt_testbed.py, and clean up some unnecessary code interdependencies
    and error handling. This will make it easier to write alternative CLI
    frontents. This also handles test timeouts in a better way: There now is a
    proper "summary" report as "FAIL timed out", and subsequent tests will now
    run. (Closes: #741322)
  * Drop the --leave-lang option. Please use the explicit option --set-lang
    instead, to avoid weakly defined behaviour.
  * Move Binaries class into separate module lib/adt_binaries.py.
  * Testbed.execute(): Explicitly decode output of programs as UTF-8, instead
    of relying on the host locale's encoding.
  * tools/adt-setup-vm: Only configure eth0 in ifupdown if it actually exists,
    and then make sure it does not get renamed any more.
  * Add @builddeps@ build profile parsing fallback for libdpkg-perl < 1.04;
    just ignore all build profiles.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Add workaroud for cloud-init bug writing a wrong
    /etc/hosts. (LP #1494678)
  * adt-run: Log running kernel after each boot. (part of LP #1491865)
  * Track initial kernel version after test bed setup and when a test/reboot
    changes the running kernel version. Log these, and create a new
    "testinfo.json" in the output dir with this information. (LP: #1491865)
  * If --env options are specified, add these as list of name=value strings as
    "custom_environment" key to testinfo.json.
  * Put vserver arguments into testinfo.json.

autopkgtest (3.16.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-setup-vm: Use /etc/cloud.cfg.d/ to avoid conffile prompts on upgrades.
    (LP: #1477626)
  * Don't invoke QEMU with -localtime. QEMU defaults to and Linux prefers the
    hw clock in UTC. This avoids large time jumps when doing NTP.
  * adt-setup-vm: Start autopkgtest shell after all other SysV init
    scripts/facilities, to avoid a too early start of tests while boot is
    still in progress.
  * doc/README.package-tests.rst: Use comma separator in examples.
  * VirtSubproc.check_exec(): Actually error out on stderr as documented.
  * adt-virt-ssh: Verify that sudo does not write errors, as that
    interferes with auxverbs and generally is a sign of host mis-configuration
    (typically wrong hostname).
  * ssh-setup-nova: Set hostname to "adt". This avoids overly long host names
    from defaulting to nova instance names (which can be very long).
  * ssh-setup/nova: Fix parsing of IP address from "nova show" to avoid
    tripping over instance names containing "network". (LP: #1481574)
  * Fix error message and code for "invalid test depends" errors.
  * tests/pep8: Ignore E402 ("module level import not at top of file"), as
    that's impossible to satisfy; we have to set sys.path before.
  * ssh-setup/nova: In cleanup(), wait until the instance gets deleted. This
    avoids name collisions and instance quota overflow.
  * adt-run: Always show summary at the end, which is particularly helpful for
    multiple tests. (LP: #1484991)
  * adt-run.1: Clarify that without any logging options adt-run only logs to
    stderr. (LP: #1485661)
  * adt-virt-lxc: If the executed command exits with 255, translate that to
    253 in the auxverb wrapper, as 255 is the exit code for failures of the
    auxverb itself. This avoids considering ordinary test failures as
    temporary testbed failures.
  * adt-run: Show host name, to more easily identify hosts with frequent
    failures.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Always call lxc-stop with --kill, as the containers are not
    precious and normal shutdown might hang.
  * adt-virt-lxc: In cleanup, stop LXC container before removing the shared
    downtmp, to ensure that we always clean up the running container. Also
    don't fail on errors. (LP: #1488879)
  * ssh-setup/nova: Add missing apt sources for -updates/-security
    restricted/multiverse pockets.

  * Exit with code 4 ("test failure") if a test times out, instead of 16
    ("testbed failure").
  * Exit with code 12 ("erroneous package") if test dependencies are
    unsatisfiable and put badpkg/blame into summary, instead of exiting with
    code 20 ("other unexpected failures including bad usage").
  * Exit with code 12 ("erroneous package") and a proper error message if
    debian/tests/<testname> does not exist, instead of code 20 and a confusing
    message about chmod failing and *-stderr missing.
  * Exit with code 12 ("erroneous package") instead of 20 if test dependency
    package install fails.
  * adt-virt-ssh: If the executed command exits with 255, translate that to
    253 in the auxverb wrapper, as 255 is ssh's (and auxverb's) exit code if
    something with the connection failed. This avoids considering ordinary

  * If the test fails with exit code 127 (usually "command not found"),
    consider this a test failure (code 4), not a testbed failure (code 16).
  * doc/README.package-tests.rst: Document that "Tests:" and similar fields
    can be comma separated too, like everywhere else in Debian's control
    files.
  * ssh-setup/nova: Show name of created nova instance, so that it's easier to
    map instances to a test.
  * run-from-checkout: Exec adt-run to avoid keeping the shell wrapper process
    around.
  * ssh-setup/snappy: Fix check whether --image and --channel are specified

autopkgtest (3.16) unstable; urgency=medium

  Behaviour changes and improvements:
  * ssh-setup/nova: Re-try nova boot up to three times if it fails, and sleep
    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
    gets rid of the requirement to generate a gpg key on first run. Drop
    corresponding --gnupg-home option. (LP: #1472691)
  * Drop long-obsolete --tmp-dir backwards compat option.
  * ssh-setup/snappy: Adjust ubuntu-device-flash arguments to new
    release/channel structure from Ubuntu 15.10, and default to rolling/edge.
    Add new --release option.

  Bug fixes:
  * ssh-setup/nova: Silence "invalid command wait-reboot" warning.
  * 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.
  * adt-virt-qemu: adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't use -enable-kvm QEMU option
    if /dev/kvm does not exist. (Closes: #790650)
  * Quiesce warnings from tar. Avoids "time stamp is in the future" log spew.
    (LP: #1468868)
  * Move apt sources setup from setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup to
    ssh-setup/nova. --apt-pocket does not work with the former as that runs
    too late.
  * Use Dpkg::Deps to evaluate/reduce build dependencies for expanding
    "@builddeps@". This handles build profiles. (Closes: #787093)
  * Resolve build profiles when installing build dependencies to build tested
    package.
  * Adjust NullRunner.test_tmp_install_perl test case to use
    libtest-requires-perl instead of libtest-tester-perl; the latter got

autopkgtest (3.15) unstable; urgency=medium

  Behaviour changes and improvements:
  * The specified --output-dir now must not exist or be empty. If it is
    non-empty, adt-run now will refuse to use it instead of cleaning it. This
    is safer, to avoid accidentally using the home directory or similarly
    precious data. (LP: #1463561)
  * Add --no-auto-control option to disable autodep8. (Closes: #788659)
  * 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)
  * adt-setup-vm: Add inclusion of interfaces.d/ to /etc/network/interfaces.
    This belongs into vmdebootstrap (#788792), but fix that locally for the

    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)
  * Log complete command line invocation, for easier local reproduction,
    comparison of log files, and clarifying which options were used.
    (LP: #1449413)

  Bug fixes:
  * Update Vcs-Git: field for anonscm.debian.org.
  * Drop obsolete XS-Testsuite: control field.
  * adt-setup-vm: Fix script error if $ADT_SETUP_VM_POST_COMMAND is not set.
  * README.click-tests.rst: Describe x-source manifest entry.
  * Mark test dependencies as manually installed, so that they don't go away
    if a test calls "apt-get autoremove".
  * Set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive for tests. This avoids stderr messages
    about "unable to open stdin" and similar when tests call apt-get install.

autopkgtest (3.9) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * Add "snappy" ssh setup script to run tests in an Ubuntu Snappy
    (http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy) testbed in QEMU. This uses a given image
    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.

  Bug fixes:
  * tools/adt-setup-vm: Avoid debconf prompts during dist-upgrade.
  * adt-virt-ssh: Wait for ssh to become available before checking for sudo.
    Fixes root capability detection for setup scripts which don't already wait
    for ssh themselves.
  * VirtSubproc.cmd_reboot: Avoid multi-line shell command so that this also
    gets along with the ssh runner.
  * Fix FileNotFoundError if built tree does not have a debian/changelog file.

  * Make --shell-fail also apply to test dependency installation failure.
  * Run root tests through "su" as well (if possible), to ensure that these
    also get a proper PAM/logind session with all runners. (LP: #1393474)
  * Skip the test_tmp_install tests if apt-get download does not work. This

  * adt-setup-vm: Don't purge man-db. It uninstalls way too much on images

autopkgtest (3.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * adt-build-lxc: Configure unsafe dpkg I/O and disable apt's download of
    package translations, like adt-setup-vm.
  * adt-build-lxc: Use eatmydata for lxc-create if available, and install
    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.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Setup adb port forwarding again after rebooting.
  * Fix error message if /tmp/autopkgtest-reboot already exists.
  * Fix extra space in apt-get option, which breaks apt-get's option parsing
    in some circumstances.
  * adt-build-lxc: Fix hardcoded "utopic" release name for cache cleanup on
    btrfs, use the actual release name from the command line. (LP: #1392589)

  * Fix AppArmor rule adjustment for a local click package.
  * When executing a command in the testbed times out, don't wait for it
    after killing if the auxverb includes "sudo". We can't kill those
    processes, so we'd wait forever; we can only hope that they eventually
    terminate themselves after we stop the testbed. Fixes non-working timeouts
    for LXC runner with the --sudo option.
  * Show "set -x" trace of AppArmor reconfiguration in debug mode.
  * Use "install" instead of "short" time out for downloading and unpacking
    dependencies in "temp dir" mode.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Retry connecting with ssh a few times, the first time
    doesn't always succeed immediately after enabling ssh.

autopkgtest (3.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements/cleanup:
  * 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)
  * Fix crash when running from a git checkout, but git is not installed.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Robustify powerd-cli invocation. It previously failed
    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
    instead of the entire session. In particular, this avoids killing adb on
    both the host and the device.

autopkgtest (3.5.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-virt-ssh: Be more liberal when parsing the setup script's
    capabilities, accept spaces and commas.
  * 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
    new instance. (This might become more efficient in the future with using
    snapshots.)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Put vmalloc kernel commandline config into
    separate grub.d/ directory, to avoid subsequent cloud-init invocations
    overwriting it.
  * tools/adt-setup-vm: Add setup steps that adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud does, so
    that vmdebootstrap generated VMs are functionally on par with the Ubuntu
    cloud images: Set up serial console, dpkg unsafe-io, install some
    additional packages, remove unnecessary packages, bump vmalloc on i386.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Remove most of the setup steps from user-data,
    and call adt-setup-vm instead. This keeps the knowledge of how to set up
    VM testbeds in one single place.

autopkgtest (3.5.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  adt-run fixes:
  * Make apt-get source calls again show what's being downloaded, but not all
    the other noise around it.
  * Avoid copying down the tests tree into the testbed if it already exists
    there. This is the common case for the first test in unbuilt trees, and
    avoids one round of expensive large copying for the ssh and qemu runners.
  * Fix relative --override-control paths: They should not be relative to the
    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
    LP#1376176); use --user-data instead. Also set some go-faster apt options.
  * Wait until ssh is available and cloud-init is done.
  * Stop making --keyname mandatory. If not given, use the first one from
    "nova keypair-list".
  * Fix crash if ~/.ssh/known_hosts does not exist.

  ssh-setup/adb fixes:
  * Drop the sudo'ing for unlocking the screen. It stopped working and is not
    necessary, now that we don't have images with adb running as root any
    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
    password and developer mode. Point towards using --reboot, which should be
    good enough for most cases in r/o mode.

  adt-virt-ssh fixes:
  * Implement reboot.
  * Tests or builds sometimes leak background processes which might still be
    connected to ssh's stdout/err; create and use a wrapper script that kills
    these after the main program (build or test script) finishes, otherwise we
    get eternal hangs as ssh waits until nothing is connected to its tty any

autopkgtest (3.5.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * ssh-setup/adb: Use the new "phablet-config network" to save/restore wifi
    connections, which also works with non-root adb.
  * Give adt-run's tee processes some time to catch up between printing
    results and stderr, to avoid scrambled logs. (LP: #1373441)
  * Fix NullRunner.test_timeout_no_output for older Python versions.
  * tests/pyflakes: Skip test if pyflakes3 is not available (for backports).
  * Bump Standards version to 3.9.6 (no changes necessary).
  * NullRunner.test_timeout_no_output: Slightly relax time bound to make
    failures less likely on loaded/slow machines.
  * Install clicks with --allow-unauthenticated to support local developer
    generated packages. (LP: #1372640)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Make apt-get source and package unpack output a bit less verbose.
  * Avoid "grep: debian/tests/control: No such file or directory" warning for
    packages with implicit test control. (Closes: #762009)
  * Adjust "unpack into temp dir" mode for multi-archified typelib locations
    introduced in gobject-introspection 1.41.4-1.

autopkgtest (3.5.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix apt cleanup to remove configuration files before apt-get update.
  * When using local binaries, tell apt-get to only download our
    autopkgtest.list, not all apt lists again.
  * Move autopkgtest gpg directory from ~/.autopkgtest/gpg to
    ~/.cache/autopkgtest/. Check the former location for backwards
    compatiblity.
  * Invoke gpg with --no-random-seed-file to avoid VCS noise when using
    tests/home/.
  * run-from-checkout: Use --gnupg-home with our tests/home to avoid GPG key
    generation.
  * adt-run: Defer GPG key creation until binary publishing time. This avoids
    key creation entirely for the common case of not using any local or built
    binaries.
  * tests: Use apt-doc instead of cpp-doc, as the latter is in Debian contrib
    only. (Closes: #761417)
  * When determining whether a testbed reset is necessary in between tests,
    also consider if recommends were/will be installed. (Closes: #761420)
  * README.package-tests.rst: Packages with implicit test control (ruby/perl)
    should use a different Testsuite: value, namely
    autopkgtest-pkg-{ruby,perl}, to avoid breaking compatibility with the
    specification and to other implementations like sadt.
  * autopkgtest-reboot: Switch from SIGPIPE to SIGKILL, as that is much more
    reliable.
  * Reorganize NullRunner tests so that most run also as normal user (and
    hence during package build); only keep four tests in NullRunnerRoot which
    actually do need root privileges.
  * Improve NullRunner.test_timeout_no_output test case to ensure that the
    test is properly killed after timing out.
  * Fix invocation of tests so that they retain the default SIGINT handler.
    This changes cleanup after a timeout, add new procps dependency for this.

autopkgtest (3.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * VirtSubProc.cmd_reboot(): Save/restore downtmp instead of creating a new
    one. This is more useful for reboot scenarios within tests.
  * Support tests that want to reboot the testbed (for runners which support
    rebooting). Document this in doc/README.package-tests.rst.
  * tests/testdesc: Add test case for Debian packages without a test control.
  * If there is no Debian test control file, synthesize one for Ruby and Perl
    packages, using gem2deb-test-runner and pkg-perl-autopkgtest. Thanks to
    Antonio Terceiro!
  * ssh-setup/adb: Unlock the greeter before running tests.

  Bug fixes:
  * qemu: Reconfigure tzdata after copying /etc/timezone, to make that change
    actually active.
  * qemu: Wait an additional 3 seconds after the login prompt appears on
    ttyS0. Without that, the system time is wrong, causing bad file
    timestamps. Unfortunately polling runlevel or the "hwclock" status file
    doesn't help.
  * Always keep the same downtmp even after resetting the testbed.  Some built
    trees/tests use absolute path names and break when being moved around
    after a reset. This already worked in most cases by accident due to a bug,
    but now clean up the code to be explicit about it.
  * Expand '@' to quasi-versioned (>= 0~) dependencies to avoid satisfying
    them by virtual packages. (Closes: #761003)
  * Ensure that the build tree is world-readable. Fixes permission error when
    running adt-run as non-root with a different --user and a tight umask.
    (Closes: #761049)
  * lxc: Ensure the container root directory is accessible to non-root users.
    Works around lxc-start-ephemeral bug with tight umasks.
    (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1367730)
  * lxc: Fix lxc-clone option (--new, not --name).

  * qemu: Accept any runlevel between 2 and 5 as "booted", to also work with
    systemd. (Closes: #760060)
  * adt-run: Read built tree changelogs with UTF-8 encoding. (Closes: #759752)

autopkgtest (3.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Produce a summary file by default when --output-dir is given.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Add missing $ADBOPTS for reverting to factory state.
  * Add support for retrieving a click source from bzr (from the manifest's
    x-source/vcs-bzr key) if --click-source is not given.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Use SystemImage D-BUS call for factory reset instead of
    direct recovery commands, to also work as user.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Add --password/-p option to specify a different sudo
    password than "phablet".
  * adt-run: Fix $USER in tests if testbed does not have root.
  * adt-run: Source shell profiles if testbed does not have root. Fixes
    running click tests on Ubuntu Touch without a sudo password.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Try common sudo passwords for CI ("phablet" and "0000"); if
    those do not work, and none is specified with --password, tests cannot run
    as root (which should be fine for most cases).
  * ssh-setup/adb: Stop using system-image-cli to detect an Ubuntu phone, as
    that does not work as user. Check for unity8 instead, like in other parts
    of the code.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Fix cleaning up of first-time wizard for non-root adb.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:10:01 +0200

autopkgtest (3.3.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * ssh-setup/adb: Always parse options, so that $ADBOPTS is also defined for
    operations other than "open". Fixes failure on close when multiple devices
    are present.
  * adt-run manpage: Fix references to documentation. (Closes: #758016)
  * README.package-tests.rst: Point out that dpkg-source >= 1.17.11 adds the
    Testsuite: field automatically. Thanks to Guillem Jover!
  * ssh-setup/adb: Use PropertyService to enable ssh, for future compatibility
    with non-root adb.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Protect against failures of ssh-keygen when pruning the
    localhost fingerprint. It fails if ~/.ssh/known_hosts does not exist.
  * When copying down, properly fail when there are unremovable files in an
    existing directory, instead of ignoring them and making the subsequent
    copytree() fail. This helps to get better error messages for #757396.
  * Fix crash on undeletable files in source trees. (Closes: #757396)
  * ssh-setup/adb: If there is no default ssh key, create an
    ~/.ssh/id_autopkgtest and use that.
  * Run autopilot tests with generating a subunit stream in
    <output-dir>/artifacts/<testname>.subunit, and in verbose mode.

autopkgtest (3.3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * When logging output to a file, properly close the "tee" processes' stdin
    and wait for them to finish, instead of just killing them. This avoids
    truncated logs on heavily loaded machines.
  * Fix NullRunnerNoRoot.test_tmp_install test if gir1.2-json-1.0 is already
    installed.
  * Use long options for calling programs except for the most common ones, for
    easier comprehension.
  * qemu: Read all responses from ttyS1 after sending commands. Qemu 2.1 seems
    to configure serial sockets differently, and not flushing responses
    confuses it.
  * qemu: Use "cache=unsafe" option to improve performance when the overlay is
    not on a tmpfs.
  * Further robustify cleaning up the chroots in the ChrootRunner tests.
  * adt-build-lxc: When updating containers, move the new rootfs completely to
    the original container. The rsync approach did not reliably update all
    files.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 06 Aug 2014 11:28:00 +0200

autopkgtest (3.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Accept comma separators in Tests:, Restrictions:, and Features: fields;
    this is consistent with Depends: and avoids skipping tests. (LP: #1347958)
  * Generalize implementation of getting an interactive shell in testbeds.
    Most runners now don't need to provide a hook_shell() any more.
  * Export install environment to interactive testbed shells, so that
    unpacked test depends in the temp dir are accessible. (LP: #1339103)
  * lxc: Don't fail on a nonexisting /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale.
    (LP: #1348749)
  * adb ssh script: Add --apt-update option to run "apt-get update" (with
    temporarily switching to r/w), to run tests on older development images.
    (LP: #1342838)
  * Drop the very short and unnecessary install timeouts from the NullRunner
    tests.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:45:36 +0200

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
    $ADTTMP, to avoid using Python modules from the autopkgtest source tree.
    This spots grave bugs like in 3.2.1.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:45:25 +0200

autopkgtest (3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  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.
    (Closes: #741330)

  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.
  * Run "click info" as the same user as the test. (LP: #1342836)
  * Keep <testname>-stderr output files for "allow-stderr" tests.

autopkgtest (3.1) unstable; urgency=low

  Improvements:
  * ssh-setup/adb: On Ubuntu phones, use phablet-config to disable first-time
    wizards/intros. Implement reboot and revert. This requires phablet-config
    now, either installed as package or from bzr checkout with
    PHABLET_TOOLS_PATH=<checkout dir>.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Save/restore NetworkManager system connections in revert.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Add -r/--reset option to perform a factory reset before
    running tests.
  * Bring back --control-override option, with tests and documentation.

  Bug fixes:
  * Work around subprocess.Popen bug in Python 3.2.
  * 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
    UTF-8 encoding, to avoid UnicodeDecodeErrors under C locale.
    (Closes: #753582)
  * Fix metavariable names in adt --help.
  * ChrootRunner tests: Retry removal of temporary chroot when busy.
  * Don't let a first failed apt-get update run break the test due to stderr;
    it gets retried 15 seconds later.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:40:39 +0200

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)
  * Fix high adt-virt-* CPU usage on reading commands on stdin.

autopkgtest (2.20) unstable; urgency=medium

  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.
  * 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.

  Bug fixes:
  * Don't include "adt-satdep" dummy package in <test>-packages output files.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Use host timezone as default for the VM, to
    avoid TZ changes during boot when running tests. Thanks Jean-Baptiste
    Lallement!
  * Run tests with specified locale also when they run as user.
  * Fix test failure with Ubuntu's pkgbinarymangler installed.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:34:36 +0200

autopkgtest (2.19) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * Support new argument type --changes (implied if file name ends with
    ".changes"). This behaves as if you specified all debs and the dsc from
    the given binary changes file and implies --no-built-binaries. I. e. this
    is the right thing to test a local package that you just built.
    (Closes: #738552)

  Bug fixes:
  * schroot: Always advertise "revert" capability, as it implements revert
    with simply close()/open().
  * adt-run: Move warning about missing root on testbed into the correct
    place.
  * Install build-essential and build dependencies in one apt run, which is
    slightly faster.
  * Explicity specify UTF-8 encoding for reading/writing Debian control files,
    to fix UnicodeDecodeError under C locale.
  * Determine testpkg-version also for --built-tree tests.
  * schroot: Refuse to work with non-ephemeral schroots, i. e. "directory"
    type schroots without union-type. Point this out in the manpage, too.
    (Closes: #751574)
  * schroot: Verify that /proc is mounted, and abort with a proper error
    message if not. (Closes: #751575)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't start cloud-config with a leading newline,
    not yet supported in Ubuntu 12.04's cloud-init. Thanks Jean-Baptiste
    Lallement! (LP: #1330950)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't use write_files cloud-init command, not
    yet supported in Ubuntu 12.04's cloud-init. Replace with runcmd echos.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Purge cloud-init and shutdown after cloud-init
    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
    available. Fixes operation with older Ubuntu versions which don't yet
    install Python 3 by default.

  Code cleanup:
  * 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
    the results and the output file names.

autopkgtest (2.18) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * adt-run: When running from git, show the current SHA and commit summary of
    HEAD.

  Bug fixes:
  * tests: Fix race in cleaning up ChrootRunner mounts.
  * adt-run: If apt-get update fails on publishing built binaries, retry after
    15 seconds.
  * VirtSubproc.cleanup(): Avoid recursion if something in hook_cleanup()
    bombs.
  * Fix --shell to also work with --output-dir. (LP: #1317078)

  Code cleanup:
  * VirtSubproc: Document and cleanup execute*() functions.
  * 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.
  * Drop "execute" command.
  * adt-run: Unify Testbed.command() and commandr() methods and make them
    stricter.
  * Add prefixes to all temporary directories.
  * Remove autopkgtest-xenlvm. It has been orphaned since ~ 2008, few to no
    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".
  * Port to Python 3.

autopkgtest (2.17.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Make $ADTTMP readable and accessible to other users, for tests which use
    other users through "su" and similar.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Set $HOME for root also after rebooting.
  * tests/adt-run: Force stdout to UTF-8 to see proper failures even in
    non-UTF-8 environments, instead of crashing with UnicodeEncodeError.
  * adt-run: Flush input to the stdout/err cat processes and give them some
    time to catch up after the end of the test, to avoid losing the last bits
    of output. (Closes: #750343)
  * Add missing build-essential and debhelper test dependencies.
  * adt-run: Ensure the cleanup handler for the tests tree runs also if
    copying up the tests tree fails. (Closes: #749655)
  * Put back the LXC runner on Debian, so that folks with manual LXC container
    setups can still use it.
  * adt-build-lxc: Check for default networking in /etc/lxc/default.conf. If
    it's "empty", abort with an error message that container networking needs
    to be set up first. Until LXC gets fixed in Debian (#747914) you need to
    manually set up a bridge, dnsmasq, and the default config.
  * adt-build-lxc: Support specifying $ADT_APT_PROXY. If apt-cacher-ng is
    running locally, use that as a default.

  New features:
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud, adt-setup-vm: If apt-cacher-ng is running
    locally, use that as a default for --proxy/ADT_APT_PROXY.
  * Add "reboot" testbed capability and implement it for QEMU (most other
    runners don't support it conceptually). Reboot the testbed if the setup
    commands affected boot relevant directories (/boot, /etc/init.d,
    /etc/init/, or /{etc,lib}/systemd/system). (LP: #1324435)

  Bug fixes:
  * adt-setup-vm: Run the initial apt-get update without fetching
    translations.
  * Stop shipping the LXC runner and associated tools on Debian. It does not
    work out of the box until Debian's LXC containers get proper networking by
    default (see Debian #747914).
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Add LSB header to generated SysV init script to
    avoid a warning from insserv.
  * VirtSubproc: Fix generation of auxverb from shstring.
  * Drop debhelper dependency, not necessary any more since 2.16.

  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Configure dpkg to use unsafe io, to speed up
    tests which run on hard disk backed overlays.
  * Simplify the pipelining of test stdout/err, and stop using explicit pipes
    and the "downtmp-shared-fifo" capability. This provides live output for
    all runners, including qemu. (LP: #1320194)
  * Drop obsolete downtmp-shared-fifo capability from all runners.
  * Fix "Operation not permitted" errors on cleaning up empty stdout/err
    result files with shared downtmp runners.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Refine init.d script to only launch a shell on
    "start".

  * Support ":native" dependencies.
  * Add LXC runner test case for running as different user.
  * Add QEMU runner test case for performance and integrity of copying (1000
    files with 100 kB each).
  * copyup/down: Clean up cp process on timeout, to fix eternal hang.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Disable shared downtmp. For bigger source trees 9p in
    current QEMU is way too slow (in the magnitude of 2 MB/s, and max'ing out
    CPU usage), so we can't use it directly as a normal file system.
  * Revert "Don't extract/build source packages in shared downtmp", due to
    above change. This stops penalizing other runners with extra source tree
    copies.
  * VirtSubproc: Clean up auxverb processes on timeout.
  * adt-run: Stop testbed on TERM and QUIT signals, to avoid leaving stale
    schroot/qemu/LXC processes around when e. g. stopping a job from Jenkins.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Fix runcmd to make the command's stdin actually look and
    behave like a pipe, instead of reading directly from the "stdin" file. The
    latter leads to commands exiting prematurely when hitting the file's EOF.
    (LP: #1317358)
  * Convert one of the QEMU tests from source tree to dsc, to cover that case
    as well.
  * Add test case for QEMU with --apt-source (using libpng).
  * adt-virt-qemu: Create eofcat in /bin instead of the shared /autopkgtest
    mount, as running it from the latter again triggers the "invalid numerical
    value" bug with 9p from older QEMU versions.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Purge some unnecessary services to speed up boot
    time a bit.
  * @builddeps@ now includes build-essential, not just make. (LP: #1317357)

    autopkgtest.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Disable downloading of package translations.
  * Create testpkg-version and testbed-packages before starting the builds, to
    also have them when builds fail.
  * Fix VirtSubproc.copyup_shareddir() for testbed paths which are not already
    in the shared downtmp.
  * When cleaning up a temporary testbed path fails with a permission error,
    clean it in the testbed (where we usually have root privileges). This
    avoids lots of "ignored OSError" spam with the schroot runner.
  * Stop assuming that we can chown files in the shared downtmp, it's not true
    with QEMU's 9p file system. Fall back to chmod'ing to world-writable files
    as with 9p there is no other way to implement this.
  * Simplify source tree/package extraction logic.
  * adt-run: Don't extract/build source packages in shared downtmp, to avoid
    permission/ownership problems with limited implementations like 9p.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Re-enable shared downtmp, now that operation with different
    UIDs is fixed.
  * Don't create $ADTTMP in shared downtmp to avoid permission/ownership
    problems with limited implementations like 9p.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Fix exception if workdir is not currently set.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Increase timeout for login prompt from 2 to 5 minutes, for
    slow VMs or machines under heavy load.
  * Improve error handling on copy timeouts.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Remove overlay file as early as possible, to avoid leaking
    large files in error conditions. Let QEMU run with the deleted inode.
  * Don't run apt-get and setup commands with sending output to /dev/stdout.
    When redirecting adt-run's output directly into a file this causes a
    seek to start and thus partially overwriting the output file. This also
    puts the apt-get output back to stdout as it used to be before 2.15.

  * adt-virt-qemu: Copy host's timezone into VM to avoid time zone skew when

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  New features:
  * Add new options -s/--shell-fail for running a shell in the testbed after
    every failed test, and --shell for running a shell in the testbed after
    every test. This should make debugging tests or regressions quite a bit
    simpler. This actually spawns a shell for the null, chroot, schroot, and
    lxc runners, and shows how to login to the VM for qemu (this will
    hopefully be improved in the future, but at least makes debugging possible
    for now).

  Bug fixes:
  * adt-build-lxc: Fix apt proxy setting for ubuntu template; use $HTTP_PROXY,
    not $APT_PROXY.
  * Make PEP-8 failures non-fatal during package build. They often fail in
    backports to old releases, and running them before releasing a new package
    is sufficient.
  * Filter out comment lines from control lines, as python-debian doesn't
    properly do that (Debian #743174). Fixes lintian autopkgtest.

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

  * adt-run: Stop using a $TMPDIR for package builds. It's unnecessary

  * Drop doc/README.schroot-setup. Using LVM for schroot overlays is not
    recommended as it is too slow and also too hard to set up. You should
    rather use overlays or unpacked tarballs on tmpfs. Adjust
    adt-virt-schroot.1 to point to mk-sbuild(1) instead.
  * CREDITS: Remove license information, it does not belong there and we don't
    need that any more as debian/copyright file.

  * VirtSubproc.py, command(): Intercept/retry on EAGAIN.
  * runner/adt-run: Robustify cleanup of empty "binaries" output directory, it
    does not always work in __del__().
  * adt-run: Replace direct invocation of "debian/rules build" with
    "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b". dpkg-buildpackage is the de-facto
    interface these days (also on the buildds), and does additional things now
    such as passing build flags or cleaning the package. This also implies
    dpkg-source --before build to apply patches, so remove the explicit call
    to that again. (Closes: #737632)
  * adt-run: If all tests get skipped, but there are some tests, don't claim
    that there are none. (Closes: #737242)
  * adt-run: When expanding @builddeps@, add "make" as test almost always need
    it to call "make installcheck" or similar.
  * Print package version as first adt-run message ("@devel@" when running out
    of source tree).
  * Turn VirtSubproc.Timeout into a proper exception class (RuntimeError).
  * Make VirtSubproc.bomb() useful outside the mainloop, so that we can
    use it in utility functions that are used outside of runners.
  * VirtSubproc: Add a "timeout" context manager which plumbs timeout_start(),
    timeout_end() and bomb() (if an exit message is given) or a Timeout
    exception (otherwise) together in the right way, for convenience.

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
    applied. (LP: #1212208)

autopkgtest (2.6.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-virt-lxc: Call lxc-config through sudo as well like all the other LXC
    commands. This fixes running adt-run as user with the LXC runner.
  * 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
    as user. (LP: #1266809)
  * Add test for --binary with --built-tree.
  * adt-run.1: Clarify and fix some wrong and misleading documentation what
    happens with debs produced by source packages and specified with --binary.

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.

  New test cases:
  * --timeout handling.

  * adt-virt-schroot: Add suggested-normal-user capability to the calling user
    (unless that's root), so that tests are run as user by default.
    (Closes: #728304)
  * Add support for virtual "@builddeps@" test dependency, which will be
    replaced with the package's B-D and B-D-I. Document in

  * Drop hosts/ and {onepackage,ubuntu}-config example files; these scripts
    haven't been used nor maintained in years, and we won't need them anytime

    and/or Jenkins, not from cron.
  * Move adt-testreport-* scripts and manpages into autopkgtest-xenlvm
    package, as they require the xen runner.
  * tests/run-parallel: Immediately stop on pep8/pyflakes errors.
  * Adjust SchrootRunner.test_tree_built_binaries test to also work with
    current apt.
  * Always write UTF-8 to stdout and summary stream, to avoid
    UnicodeEncodeError crash when running in a C locale. (LP: #1259529)
  * tests/pyflakes: Always use pyflakes, not pyflakes3, as the latter doesn't
    get along with non-ASCII strings when running under a non-UTF-8 locale (as
    in sbuild).

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 obsolete autodebtest Conflicts/Replaces.
  * Update copyright years.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5. No changes necessary.
  * CREDITS: Add myself.
  * Makefile: Support $DESTDIR, like automake.
  * Adjust sharedir* defaults in settings.make to what we actually want, and
    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.

  Bug fixes:
  * Fix OSError crash if --output-dir/--tmp-dir does not exist.
    (Closes: #729791)
  * Pass line number to Test constructor argument, to be able to report proper
    errors instead of crashing. (side issue in #698551)
  * Fix exit code for "Unsupported" error.
  * When encountering an unsupported test, report only this test as skipped,
    not all the others in the same "Tests:" stanza.
  * README.package-tests: Test names must not contain '/'. (Closes: #698551)
  * Create manpage for adt-virt-schroot. (first half of #695974)
  * Fix "su: must be run from a terminal" failure when running as user and
    testbed doesn't provide root-on-testbed. (Closes: #648148)
  * 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.

  New test cases:
  * Access /dev/std{out,err} in a non-root test, like the "mafft" autopkgtest
    does.
  * --log-file test cases for chroot and schroot runners.
  * schroot and LXC runner test cases for installing built binaries.
  * --output-dir in schroot runner with complete package build.
  * Recommends do not get installed by default.
  * Test case with '/' in the name.
  * --user option for schroot and null runners.
  * breaks-testbed restriction for all runners.

autopkgtest (2.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add adt-virt-lxc test runner, many thanks to Robie Basak for this! This
    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).
  * Add tests for adt-virt-lxc.
  * Code cleanup to slightly improve readability:
    - Drop two-letter aliases for methods.
    - Consistent usage of quotes.
    - Drop orphaned/unnecessary globals.
    - Consistent logging methods/object names, add some docstrings.
  * Install fakeroot into testbed for "build-needed". Thanks Jean-Baptiste
    Lallement! (Closes: #726714, LP: #1241456)
  * Create testtmp directory with 0755 permissions to fix failure with tight
    umasks. Thanks Arthur de Jong! (Closes: #728057)

  * Skip ChrootRunner test if running under cowdancer, as chrooting in

  * Fix endless bomb/stop loop if the virt runner fails and exits
    unexpectedly.
  * adt-virt-schroot: Add some debugging output of the schroot config.
  * Fix OSError crash with real-time output when running adt-run as non-root
    on the host, and the runner bind-mounts /tmp (such as -schroot), in which
    case the temporary runner dir isn't accessible to the host. This is a
    quickfix, eventually we should make real-time output work properly in this
    situation.
  * Show stderr also for non-zero exit codes.
  * Restrict live stdout/stderr to the null virt runner for now, as it does
    not work properly with the schroot runner even if /tmp gets bind-mounted.
  * Add tests for the schroot runner. Ad building a schroot would be too
    expensive for a test, use an existing schroot if $ADT_TEST_SCHROOT is set,
    otherwise skip the tests.
  * Show stderr for all non-null runners with "allow-stderr".

  * lib/VirtSubproc.py, downtmp_mktemp(): Create temporary directory in the

    schroot/chroot runners for directories.
  * Only show stdout/stderr in realtime if tests run in the same file system
    as the host, as otherwise we cannot create/use a named pipe. If not, fall
    back to the old way of just showing the complete stdout/stderr after the
    tests finished. (LP: #1235189)
  * Add some test cases for adt-virt-chroot.
  * Add new --timeout-copy option to make copy timeout configurable. Pass that
    down to adt-virt-* via the environment ($ADT_VIRT_COPY_TIMEOUT).
    (LP: #1200693)
  * Fix tests to also work with Python 3.1.

  * 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.

  * Provide tests with ADTTMP rather than TMPDIR.

    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).

  Documentation fixes:
  * Clarify the spec to say that copyup/down takes encoded filenames.
  * Fix the spec to refer to `breaks-testbed' rather than `breaks-computer'.
    Report from Jakub Wilk.  Closes: #669721.
  * Manpage should refer to `*' in tests file's Depends field, not `@'.
    Report from Jakub Wilk.  Closes: #670648.

  Packaging fixes:
  * Add Recommends against pbuilder, whose dependency resolver adt-run
    uses.
  * Remove runner/tmp on debian/rules clean, and add it to .gitignore,
    for convenience.

  * adt-testreport-onepackage has better reporting for DC-running.
  * Fix handling of non-.deb-producing source packages (eg, ones

    left open' message).
  * Change default lvm lv sizes and make documentation correspond
    to reality.

  * Locking: <play>.lock (unlinkable fcntl style) plus <play>/good
    sentinel file.  This will avoid conflicts between simultaneous calls
    to with-testbed and setup (and others).  The `with' mode of the userv
    target is enhanced so that the caller can take out the lock and hold
    it will starting and discarding the testbed more than once.

  * Discard stderr from our ought-to-be-unnecessary modprobe dm-snapshot.
  * New `console' mode for userv service.
  * Move README.userv to autopkgtest-xenlvm package (and hence to
    /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm).
  * Do not mind if directory named by adt_modules doesn't exist - in
    that case just don't copy any modules.
  * Attempt to install libc6-xen in fixups-inside, rather than instructing
    debootstrap to install it.  This makes us not mind if it's missing.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Thu, 12 Jul 2007 09:50:13 +0100

autopkgtest (0.9.0) gutsy; urgency=low

  New features:

    at least somewhat tested, and useable by adt-virt-xenlvm.
  * New print-execute-command command for virtualisation servers.
  * New adt_sshauthkeys_hook config variable.
  * pass count= to dd for erasure when lvm_erasebase=true.

  Bugfixes:
  * Fix filename pattern bug which can prevent automatic keypair
    generation (false claim that privkey and pubkey do not match).
  * Do not demand vg or distro information for initscript to work.
  * export adt_* variable settings resulting from command-line
    arguments so that subprocesses get them properly, and arrange
    for the `defaults for simple settings' not to override environment
    variables.
  * suppress various variable settings' default computations (and
    consequent failure if the default can't be established) when
    processing config for the initscript.  The initscript does not
    need per-testbed configuration options.
  * close fd 8 when running vgdisplay (which avoids an annoying and
    spurious warning from the lvm tools).

  Packaging:
  * autopkgtest-xenlvm now Recommends: lvm2 and debootstrap.
  * autopkgtest Suggests curl (adt-testreport-onepackage needs it).

  Portability:
  * Check for udev persistent-net-generator and if enabled we
    write a rune for eth0 for guest_macaddr into the RULES_FILE
    specified in /lib/udev/write_net_rules.  (Needed for gutsy.)
  * Remove iwj-specific stuff from adt-testreport-onepackage and put
    it into onepackage-config with scary warnings to tell people to
    edit the file.

  Documentation:
  * ip forwarding warning clarified.
  * README documentation of default value for erasebase corrected.

autopkgtest (0.8.2) gutsy unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix fd handling to work around Python's habit of closing files
    you specify in subprocess.Popen.
  * Error handling bugfixes: say except (IOError,OSError) everywhere
    rather than just one of those two; correct harmless bug in gpg key
    generation error handling.
  * Make adt-virt-null work properly (VirtSubProc runs `down' with
    a single argument, so down must be sh -c and not []).
  * In VirtSubProc close spurious copy of plumbing pipe, which prevents
    certain hangs during error situations.
  * Xen cleanup script runs dmsetup info / dmsetup remove several times
    with some sleeps because xm destroy is not properly instantaneous.
  * Fix handling of pre-built source trees.
  * Fix cleanup handling not to delete tmpdir before resetting testbed's
    apt.

  * adt-testreport-onepackage: new ability to test binary as well as
    source packages, using new --instantiate option.
  * new `timeout=' option on `execute' virt server command.
  * set some default timeouts (these should be settable with options,
    really).
  * Default kernel image guesser is more sophisticated - now we look
    for something that looks like a Xen kernel rather than guessing
    from the filename since the filenames seem unstable.
  * Default setting for adt_fw_allowglobalports is none.
  * Set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive.
  * Run udevsettle after xm destroy but before dmsetup remove.
  * Run sendmail -odi not -odq in adt-testreport-onepackage.
  * Longer timeouts by default.
  * Print `adt-run: trace' for trace output.
  * Show all apt stdout (including dpkg stdout) in contemporaneous trace.
