Changelog
autopkgtest (3.18.1~ubuntu15.10.1) wily-backports; urgency=medium
* No-change backport to wily
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.
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.
