autopkgtest (2.2.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  [ Stefano Zacchiroli ]
  * specification: document (XS-)Testsuite source header
    Closes: #679097

 -- Stefano Zacchiroli <zack@debian.org>  Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:55:31 +0200

autopkgtest (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * 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).

    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.

autopkgtest (1.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Separate email_sourcepackage_header and email_binarypackage_header
    to allow us to properly file bugs in LP against binary packages built
    from differently-named sources.

    used for package selection.
  * adt-testreport-onepackage: Do not prefer packages whose source package
    is listed in the suppressions file.

    blacklist ltsp-client{,-core}.
  * adt-testreport-onepackage: limit log to 64K (32K head, 32K tail)
    to avoid humungous bug reports which LP silently discards.
  * hosts/cadmium/lalonde-nightly: check for testbed sentinel file
    and stop if not present.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Thu, 18 Oct 2007 11:56:51 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.8) gutsy; urgency=low

  * adt-run: pass -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true to apt & gdebi;
    this improves dependency problem reporting.  (LP: #135581.)
  * adt-testreport-onepackage: seddery the log to remove ctrl chars.
    In particular, this gets rid of ^M's from apt which get corrupted
    by email transport and thus break the email signatures.

  * hosts/{chinstrap,cadmium}/install-on-*: use --ubuntu branch.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:44:33 +0100

  * Generate debian/copyright file in source package.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:01:16 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.4) gutsy; urgency=low

  * adt-testreport-onepackage:
    - Handling of source packages' Architecture: field corrected
      so package selection works properly.
    - Use ln -f when installing summary.

    - Capability to suppress email for packages listed in a
      suppression file.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:42:13 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Set LANG to C by default for commands (eg builds and tests) run on
    testbed, and make this configurable.
  * Make builds work again: Fix `cd *' in work.write (broken by
    inclusion of `tmpdir' in that directory).
  * adt-testreport-onepackage has better reporting for DC-running.
  * Fix handling of non-.deb-producing source packages (eg, ones
    which produce only .udebs).

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Mon, 16 Jul 2007 17:18:03 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * xenlvm command-line settings properly override config file
    settings everywhere.
  * Default value for adt_distro computed in time to be used for
    default value for adt_play.
  * Close fd 4 for lvm tools too (suppresses daft `File descriptor
    left open' message).
  * Change default lvm lv sizes and make documentation correspond
    to reality.

 -- Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>  Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:31:58 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * adt_debootstrap_opts mentioned in README and passable on
    command lines, instead of unused adt_pbuilder_args.
  * Dependency on pbuilder fixed; we use debootstrap, not pbuilder.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:54:47 +0100

autopkgtest (1.0.0) gutsy; urgency=low

  * 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.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Thu, 12 Jul 2007 15:01:35 +0100

autopkgtest (0.9.2) unreleased; urgency=low

  * Really discard stderr from our ought-to-be-unnecessary
    modprobe dm-snapshot.

 -- Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>  Thu, 12 Jul 2007 14:31:20 +0100

autopkgtest (0.9.1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * autopkgtest-xenlvm declares that it Depends on dmsetup.
  * 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:
  * userv service for testbed invocation now provided and
    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 (0.8.2feisty1~iwj) feisty-updates; urgency=low

  * Fix readconfig.in to set adt_$var rather than just $var.
  * Use fd 8 for readconfig stdout parking rather than fd 10, to avoid
    Debian #423400 (bash bug).
  * Truncate files when writing them (copyup, copydown, etc) (!)
  * Remove spurious \ from `do not know how to handle filename' message.
  * Reset signal handlers in VirtSubproc cleanup.

 -- Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>  Thu, 17 May 2007 15:11:31 +0100

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.
  
 -- Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>  Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:06:15 +0100

autopkgtest (0.8.1) feisty; urgency=low

  * Call dmsetup remove repeatedly instead of messing with udevsettle.
    udevsettle doesn't always help with the dmsetup remove race.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Wed,  4 Apr 2007 18:04:38 +0100

autopkgtest (0.8.0) feisty; urgency=low

  * adt-run: new --instantiate option to allow package installation to be
    forced for testing.  (This is not an ideal approach - it's not very
    flexible - but works well enough for the current requirements.)
  * 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.

    example config files onepackage-config and ubuntu-config.
  * Fixed quite a few bugs in adt-run.
  * Made adt_distro xenlvm config var settable.
  * Fixed various packaging problems.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Thu,  8 Mar 2007 14:54:33 +0000

autopkgtest (0.7.1) feisty; urgency=low

  * Actually ship README.* files.
  * Manpage for adt-virt-xenlvm.
  * New adt-virt-null.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Mon, 26 Feb 2007 16:34:41 +0000

autopkgtest (0.7.0) feisty; urgency=low

  * Many new features, including:
    - Xen virtualisation service works
    - Can build packages as necessary
    - Many bugfixes.
    - Documentation (moved from the wiki).

autopkgtest (0.6.1) edgy; urgency=low

  * autopkgtest-xenlvm: filter output from debootstrap to make

    forwarding is turned off.
  * Add missing file `xen/justconfig' to bzr.
  * Fix typo in usage message in adt-virt-chroot.

    scripts productised.  Not yet glued into autopkgtest proper.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Fri,  6 Oct 2006 20:45:41 +0100

autopkgtest (0.5.3) dapper; urgency=low

  * Rename package autodebtest => autopkgtest.
  * Remove a leftover debugging print from adt-virt-chroot.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>  Tue,  7 Feb 2006 18:02:08 +0000

autodebtest (0.5.2) dapper; urgency=low
