      * No-change backport to trusty
    
    autopkgtest (4.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ SZALAY Attila ]
      * Respect --shell-on-failure on test dep install failure (Closes: #844255)
    
      [ Barry Warsaw ]
      * Use a test name that won't collide with my $HOME.
      * Shorten the name in response to review
      * testdesc.py: Feature: test-name=foobar added for better Test-Command names
        (Closes: #839253)
      * autopkgtest: Support --test-name and deprecate --testname
    
      [ Paul Gevers ]

      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * ssh: Fix result of tests that break the testbed. (LP: #1630578)
      * qemu: Fix user/password login mode without a ttyS1 root shell.
         - Concatenate bytes with each other, not a str to a byte.
         - Sync/flush console after sending password and ttyS1 shell command, wait
           until login is complete before continuing.
         - Send password to sudo for ttyS1 shell command, to also work with
           password-requiring sudo. (LP: #1630963)
      * qemu: Fix reboot in user/password login mode.
      * ssh: Add --capability option.
        This is useful to run tests which require an isolation level or have
        breaks-testbed without a setup script.
      * autopkgtest-build-lxd: Ask "lxc profile" for default bridge instead of
        /etc/default/lxd-bridge. The latter went away in recent LXD versions, and
        "lxc profile show default" also works in earlier versions.
      * Make --apt-upgrade consider a "404" error as test failure.
        Previously all errors from "apt-get update" were considered temporary
        failures, i. e. the setup command always exited with 1. But if we specify
        e. g. a nonexisting release from a distro or a PPA, this won't just go
        away by itself -- we want the test to actually fail instead of getting
        stuck in an eternal "retry on temporary failures" loop.
      * schroot: Don't fail on stderr of schroot as long as it succeeds.
        (LP: #1637898)
      * qemu: Hide detected udev file system properties on /dev/baseimage.
        (Closes: #842299)
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * VirtSubproc: open arbitrary files in binary mode.
      * VirtSubproc: if check_exec status is nonzero, include stderr in message.
      * qemu: put the shared directory in /run. If the virtual machine's root
        filesystem is read-only, we won't be able to create /autopkgtest.
      * qemu: Move eofcat into /tmp. This avoids having to write it to /bin, which
        might be read-only.  Re-create eofcat on every boot for this.
      * source_rules_command: log the result we got if it is not as expected
        (Closes: #842302)
      * Add 'needs-reboot' restriction. This allows tests to be explicit about
        needing to reboot the machine, rather than assuming that
        'isolation-machine' is enough. It is plumbed into the existing 'reboot'
        capability, which is distinct from 'isolation-machine'.
        (Closes: #842300)
      * Add --setup-commands-boot for commands that must be run at every boot.
        This can be used for doing "mount -o remount,rw /" before any dpkg
        operation, or transient setup like writing files into /run/.

      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * ssh-setup/nova: Move to python3 and to current -novaclient API
      * schroot: Bump end-session timeout to 5 minutes.
        30 seconds might not be enough when running big schroots on slow disks.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Add --nova-reboot option.
        In some clouds using "nova reboot --poll" waits several minutes until
        after the machine is actually up again. OTOH a simple "reboot" inside some
        other clouds causes network to break after "reboot". As there is no method
        that works everywhere, default to the autopkgtest-virt-ssh behaviour again
        ("reboot" and wait for ssh), and add an option to use "nova reboot"
        instead.
    
      [ Stéphane Graber ]
      * 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.
        (Closes: #839072)
    
    autopkgtest (4.0.5) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Don't configure ifupdown when using
        networkd, as done by latest vmdebootstrap.
      * autopkgtest-chroot.1: Fix typo
      * Drop broken and unmaintained ssh-setup/snappy setup script.
        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
        documented as such) and other packages might provide virt servers. Put them
        back into /usr/bin, with an "autopkgtest-virt-" prefix to mirror the original
        "adt-virt-" naming. Rename the manpages to match the binaries.
        (Closes: #835204)
      * tests/autopkgtest: Relax checks for testpkg.deb from local repository
        apt 1.3 changes the format, so be less picky about it.
      * Fix "apt-get source" version detection for single-line "Package-List:"

      * qemu: Add new --timeout-reboot option.
        Lower default timeout from 5 to 1 minute.
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Add systemd unit for ttyS1 root shell.
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Ignore I/O errors on ttyS1 in autopkgtest.service.
      * tools/autopkgtest-build-lxd: Run poweroff before "lxc stop"
        This works around hanging containers when a container has systemd >= 231-1 but
        the host LXC does not yet have <https://github.com/lxc/lxc/pull/1086>.
    
    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).
      * Disable SchrootClickRunner.test_setup_ubuntu_touch_session for now, it
        breaks schroots and needs to move into a container.

      * 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
        does not yet understand --only-source, by ignoring other sources in awk.
    
    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
        As these are being used in existing tests and tools, also export/check
        those under their old ADT_* name.

      * debian/tests/lxd: Set up LXD bridge, so that the test can actually work
        with current LXD.

        exists for the chosen release/architecture. (LP: #1586322)
      * Put back apt-cache showsrc --only-source option, as otherwise we'll catch

        when --apt-source package does not exist.
      * Move installed python modules from /usr/share/autopkgtest/python to
        ../lib, to use the same name as in the source tree.
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Call all apt-get commands with /dev/null
        stdin, to avoid them seizing stdin. Fixes adt-build-lxc for Ubuntu trusty.
    
    autopkgtest (3.20.6) unstable; urgency=medium

        just log an error instead.
      * Fix parsing of candidate versions from "apt-cache policy" to always use
        the precise given package name. By default it falls back to a
        substring/regexp search (undocumented).
      * adt-build-lxd: Check the LXD configuration for the LXD bridge instead of
        the old LXC bridge, for apt proxy auto-detection. (LP: #1577968)

        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

      New features/behaviour changes:
    
      [Martin Pitt]
      * 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:
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Ensure that removing cruft does not remove
        cloud-init. (LP: #1539126)
      * 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.
      * Keep and export $ADTTMP and $ADT_ARTIFACTS in debug shells.
        (Closes: #814115)
      * setup-commands/*: Add shebang headers to quiesce lintian.
      * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.7 (no changes necessary).
      * Add debian/source/format (3.0 native).
      * 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.
        (Closes: #817190)
      * tests/adt-run: Symlink real ~/.config/lxc into the temporary $HOME, to
        avoid regenerating the LXD client certificate for each test.
    
      [ Christian Seiler ]
      * setup-testbed: reduce grub timeout on images that don't already configure
        this in /etc/default/grub.d (like vmdeboostrap).
      * adt-virt-qemu: Use correct qemu-system-i386 command on i[3456]86 systems.
      * Fix spelling errors in manpages.
    
    autopkgtest (3.19.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Avoid dpkg conffile prompts.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Call lxc-stop and lxc-destroy with --quiet, to fix breakage
        due to unexpected output with LXC 2.0.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Redirect lxc-destroy stdout, to work around LP #1543016.
      * Ignore build profiles on too old libdpkg-perl versions also when building
        the tested package.
      * adt-virt-lxd.1: Standard images from linuxcontainers.org stopped having
        "deb-src" apt lines by default. Document that standard setup commands are
        required for this and adjust examples accordingly.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Factorize cleanup code.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Run lxc-{start,stop} under "timeout" when running through
        sudo, as killing these on timeout does not work.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Wait until instance is actually ready before sending
        access info.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Show instance's console log on ssh or cloud-init timeouts,
        as that's very useful for debugging.
      * adt-virt-lxd: Drop redundant "lxc stop", just call "lxc delete --force".
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Bump default image size from 4 to 20 GB.
      * runner/adt-run: Install ca-certificates along with git, to ensure that

      * adt-virt-lxc: Avoid unnecessary reading and decoding of program outputs if
        we don't actually use it.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Use the image with the latest "created" time, instead of
        the last lexicographic name.
    
    autopkgtest (3.19.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * 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
        auxverb itself. This avoids considering ordinary test failures as
        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.

      * 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:.

    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.
    
    autopkgtest (3.17.4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Fix --apt-pocket for apt sources with [options].
      * 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.
    
    autopkgtest (3.17.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=<#cpu> for builds and tests (as they
        sometimes build packages). (LP: #1399177)
      * 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

      * adt-setup-vm: Drop "pin eth0 name" hack, this was fixed properly in
        systemd 226-2.
      * adt-setup-vm: Generalize ethernet ifupdown setup for net.ifnames.

      * setup-commands/cloud-vm-setup: Provide fallback for Ubuntu 12.04 which

      * 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.
    
    autopkgtest (3.16.2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * 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
        test failures as temporary testbed failures. (LP: #1475679)
    
    autopkgtest (3.16.1) unstable; urgency=medium

      * ssh-setup/nova: Clean up userdata temp file on failed nova boot.
      * 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.

    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
        removed from Debian.
    
    autopkgtest (3.15.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Fix lsb_release fallback if python3-distro-info
        is not available.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't move the uninitialized image to final
        location if QEMU failed.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Check availability of genisoimage and access of
        /dev/kvm before downloading image. (LP: #1466486)
      * Get along with dpkg-query not existing, such as in latest Ubuntu Snappy
        images. Skip generation of testbed-packages artifact in that case.
        (LP: #1469647)
      * Adjust NullRunner.test_tmp_install test case to work with pygobject 3.16.
    
    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
        time being.
      * adt-run.1: Document --testname.
    
    autopkgtest (3.14.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * adt-virt-lxc: Don't try to set up a shared downtmp with unprivileged
        (user) containers. This is full of permission errors due to the mapped
        UIDs.
      * tests/adt-run LxcRunner: Use $ADT_TEST_LXC as unprivileged user container
        if it exists.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Check at the beginning if QEMU command is
        available and exit with proper error message if not. (LP: #1460066)
      * If auxverb fails with exit code 126, 127, 254, or 255, consider this a
        failure of auxverb/the testbed itself, not of the program run under it.
        (As specified in doc/README.virtualisation-server.rst) (LP: #1462540)
    
    autopkgtest (3.14.2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Add tests/testpkg-{simple,reboot,reboot-prepare}: Very simple stub
        packages for manual testing.
      * VirtSubproc, cmd_reboot(): Disconnect the backgrounded reboot command from
        stdout/err, to avoid it getting killed by the ssh runner. (LP: #1454735)
    
    autopkgtest (3.14.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Go back to using the backgrounded reboot command as we had before 3.14.
        Just calling "reboot" is prone to hangs and timeouts in case reboot is too
        fast and shuts down our communication channel.
      * Fix --override-control option in adt-run(1). (LP: #1453495)
      * Fail with an error if --override-control file does not exist.
        (LP: #1453503)
      * ssh-setup/snappy: Add -b/--show-boot option to direct boot and console
        messages to stdout. (LP: #1453154)
      * adt-virt-qemu.1: Document --show-boot option.
      * Add test case for using a @ command line include file for a virt runner.
      * Strip leading and trailing space from argument lines in '@' included
        command line argument files. (LP: #1453498)
    
    autopkgtest (3.14) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      Improvements:
      * adt-virt-ssh: Add --reboot option to indicate that testbed can be
        rebooted. This is useful when running without a setup script (which can
        already declare capabilities).
      * Simplify reboot implementation: Just call "reboot" as root in the testbed
        to trigger rebooting, and replace the former hook_reboot() in adt-virt-*
        with hook_wait_reboot() which merely waits for the testbed to go down and
        come back up. This also replaces the "reboot" command for ssh setup
        scripts to "wait-reboot" and in most cases it is not needed to implement
        this at all (except for the "adb" script).
      * Add /tmp/autopkgtest-reboot-prepare script for testbeds which support
        rebooting. This saves the current state but leaves the actual reboot to
        the test itself. This is useful if rebooting should happen with unusual
        means (e. g. kexec) or as part of testing something else (like a system
        upgrade). (LP: #1445819)
      * 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 (3.13) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * ssh-setup/adb: Add --keep-screen-active option to keep
       "powerd-cli display" running after the tests. Use with caution!
       (LP: #1441023)
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Add --post-command for running a shell command
        after setup for additional customization.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Quote tr arguments.
      * click tests: Look into app/tests/autopilot/ for tests as well if no
        explicit path is given. This is the default location of the Ubuntu cmake
        templates.

        (LP: #1422681)
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * adt-build-lxc: When removing the old root file system, remove btrfs
        subvolumes in it.
      * README.package-tests.rst: Document that '#' can be used for comments.
        (Part of LP #1434543)
      * Ignore debian/tests/control stanzas with unknown fields, as documented.
        (LP: #1434543)
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Drop workaround for LP #1428495, it got fixed in
        cloud-init a while ago.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Fix cloud-init's prerm hacking to apply after
        dist-upgrades.
    
    autopkgtest (3.12) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * ssh-setup/adb: Re-enable ssh after reboot, in case an upgrade disables it.
      * ssh-setup/adb: Try to create /userdata/.adb_onlock, to get adb after
        rebooting without human interaction.
      * Fix apt-get install --simulate version parsing with third-party sources.
        (LP: #1430017)
      * ssh-setup-nova: Add --security-groups option. (LP: #1429862)
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Avoid non-blocking reads from the socket in
        verbose mode, this sometimes causes hangs. Go back to blocking reads, but
        don't wait between them.
      * Fix UnicodeDecodeError on .deb package name reading. (LP: #1430773)
      * adt-virt-ssh: Export $SUDO_ASKPASS to tests if sudo is available.
        (LP: #1431421)
    
    autopkgtest (3.11.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Fix autopkgtest-reboot to also work when being called through sudo, and
        for forking test scripts.
      * Avoid failure if /var/cache/apparmor/click-ap.rules does not exist any
        more after a reboot, like on snappy.
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Avoid cloud-init's prerm stopping cloud-init's
        services while we are still running them. This makes it possible to purge
        cloud-init from user-data, and avoids killing apt/dpkg underneath us. This
        needs a cleaner solution, but is a good enough workaround for now.
        (LP: #1427999)
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't wait between serial console reads while
        we have data. Provides faster/smoother output in --verbose mode.
      * ssh-setup/nova: Fix error message on missing keypair, the command is
        "keypair-add", not "keypair-create". Thanks Thomi Richards! (LP: #1428433)
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Add workaround for recent cloud-init regression
        that disables ssh (LP #1428495)
      * adt-run: Suggest common reason for unsatisfiable test dependencies.
        Suggest using a current image, or run apt-get update/-U (for apt-get) or
        --setup-commands ro-apt-update (for temp dir install mode). (LP: #1425682)
      * Quiesce confusing "failed to create symbolic link
        /sbin/autopkgtest-reboot" warning on read-only testbeds.
    
    autopkgtest (3.11) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      Improvements:
      * Add action argument --testname to run only one individual test from the
        next package.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * Restore click AppArmor profiles after a test, if we modified them before
        the test.
      * When running a deb test in a click+AppArmor environment, update AppArmor
        rules for all clicks for introspectability and temporary test
        dependencies. This takes about a minute before the test, and another one
        after the test, but is necessary for use cases like ubuntu-sanity-tests.
        (LP: #1424889)
    
    autopkgtest (3.10) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      Improvements:
      * adt-virt-lxc: Add reboot support for non-ephemeral containers.
      * tests/run-parallel: Don't run all test classes in parallel, it creates too
        much load. Serialize test classes which use the same runner.
    
      Bug fixes:
      * VirtSubproc.py, cmd_reboot(): Fix debug message.
      * tests/adt-run: Avoid re-downloading ubuntu-device-flash images by
        symlinking ~/.cache/ubuntuimages from the temp $HOME into the real user's
        $HOME.
      * adt-virt-lxc: Fix check for eatmydata when using --eatmydata.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Synchronize ttyS0 output before writing eofcat.
      * adt-virt-qemu, adt-virt-lxc: Asynchronously call reboot, to avoid eternal
        hangs when it reboots too fast for us to notice that it finished.
    
    autopkgtest (3.9.7) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Include "Package-Type: deb" marked packages for testing. Fixes regression
        with testing paramiko.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Robustify setupup of shared /autopkgtest directory.
      * VirtSubProc.expect(): Read data without delay as long as we have some.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Add --show-boot option to show boot messages from serial
        console.
      * adt-setup-vm: Configure "console=ttyS0" boot option in grub on non-i386
        architectures too, to fix serial consoles with systemd images. Create
        /etc/default/grub.d/ if necessary.
      * adt-setup-vm: Only configure grub if update-grub is available.
        (Closes: #778907)
      * adt-virt-qemu: Increase reboot and dpkg-reconfigure timeouts; on loaded
        machines these might take longer than 5s.
      * adt-run: Unless --leave-lang is given, unset $LANGUAGE and all $LC_* for
        tests, to avoid clobbering the testbed locale with the host's.
        (LP: #1423359)
    
    autopkgtest (3.9.6) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Skip test_tmp_install_imagemagick test case if python3-wand is not
        available.
      * adt-virt-ssh: Ignore errors when cleaning up the work dir. This races with
        sshd cleaning up its control socket, don't stumble over that.
        (LP: #1420355)
      * Implement --timeout-factor, which was forgotten with the rewrite in
        version 3.2. (LP: #1420540)
      * ssh-setup/adb: Fix waiting for the desktop to boot: Lower D-Bus call
        timeout to 5 seconds, and fix retry loop to time out afer 5 minutes of
        real time instead of a fixed number of retries (as the duration of the
        D-Bus call is not very reliable).
      * virt-subproc/adt-virt-ssh: Don't try to exit the ssh muxer if we don't
        have a ssh command yet. This happens when the setup script fails to open
        the testbed.

        /run/udev/rules.d/ and trigger them. (LP: #1417966)
      * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Don't fail on udevadm failure, which
        cannot work in schroots.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Ensure that python3 or python is available (which is
        required for the auxverb helper) and exit with a meaningful error message
        if it isn't. Adjust the manpage accordingly. Fix adt-setup-vm to install
        python3-minimal if no Python is already installed. Thanks to Christian
        Kastner for the initial patch! (Closes: #777478)

        (LP: #1414939)
      * README.running-tests.rst: Fix mis-spelled ro-apt setup command.
      * Add setup-commands/ro-apt-update: Shortcut for temporarily mounting a
        readonly root file system writable and run apt-get. This allows tests to
        download/unpack test dependencies on older images whose apt indexes are
        out of date. (LP: #1408350)
      * Export temp dir install mode variables in the test run script instead of
        merely running it under that environment, so that we trump non-extending
        LD_LIBRARY_PATHs in /etc/environment. (LP: #1407949)
      * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Ensure that /dev/uinput is always

      * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Unset UPSTART_JOB (which crept into
        the environment from a recent upstart version) when calling initctl, to

      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.
        Simply skip detection of source package version in this case.

      * 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
        might happen in some build environments which completely disable
        networking or don't have working apt-get download for some reason.
        (Closes: #769687)

        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

      * 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)
    
    autopkgtest (3.7.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * NullRunner.test_tmp_install_perl: Use a package from Ubuntu main, to fix
        FTBFS in Ubuntu's buildds.
      * 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.
      * tools/adt-setup-vm: Prevent subsequent cloud-init runs from modifying the
        apt sources again.
    
    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.

      * README.package-tests.rst: Make references to the control field consistent.
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * When parsing .changes files, always register the debs before the dscs and
        stop assuming Files: having this order already. (Closes: #764795)
      * Drop the builtin synthesis of Perl/Ruby tests and use autodep8 instead.
        Update the spec accordingly, and add a Recommends: autodep8.
        (Closes: #763847)
      * adt-build-lxc: Implement LXC cache cleanup for btrfs by removing the image
        snapshots instead of rm -r'ing the cache dir, as the latter will fail.
      * adt-setup-vm: Fix missing hashbang of generated /etc/init.d/autopkgtest.
        (Regression from 3.5.5)
    
    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
        more.
    
      Other fixes:
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Purge more unnecessary packages.
    
    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)

      * 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.
    
      [ Niko Tyni ]
      * Test perl packages that include test.pl, not just t/. (Closes: #762013)
    
    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.
        (Closes: #761596)
    
    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.

      * 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)

      * 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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.

        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.

        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.

      * 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.
    
    autopkgtest (3.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix -s/--shell-fail to actually work again (regression in 2.19).
      * Quiesce the sourcing of /etc/profile and ~/.profile to avoid "stdin: is
        not a tty" clutter.
    
    autopkgtest (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Install ssh setup scripts executable.
      * doc/README.running-tests.rst: Add ssh runner example.
    
    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.
    
    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.
      * Don't read --setup-commands files multiple times.
    
    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.
    
    autopkgtest (2.17) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      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.
    
    autopkgtest (2.16.4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * adt-build-lxc: Unset $http[s]_proxy for the post-creation apt-get update
        if it refers to localhost.
      * adt-build-lxc: Fix cache cleaning for upgrades.
    
    autopkgtest (2.16.3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Explicitly use virtio ethernet device, as the
        default one is horribly slow with older QEMU versions.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Add -c/--cpus option for running VMs with multiple CPUs.
      * adt-run: Retry writing to stderr a few times on EAGAIN.
      * adt-run: If apt-get update fails, retry after 15 seconds. This should
        work around the frequent "hash sum mismatch" race condition.
        (LP: #1319416)
      * 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".
      * adt-build-lxc: Add optional third argument for specifying a non-native
        architecture.
    
    autopkgtest (2.16.2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * 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)
      * Make -s/--shell-fail start a shell on failed builds as well.
        (LP: #1317055)
    
    autopkgtest (2.16.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Configure vmalloc=512M on i386 for the udisks2
        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-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Use "-monitor null" instead of "-monitor none",
        as the latter does not work with older Qemu versions.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Don't call qemu-img with -q option, it doesn't exist in
        older Qemu versions yet. Redirect stdout instead.
      * tools/adt-setup-vm: Disable downloading of package translations to save
        some bandwidth. Thanks Jean-Baptiste Lallement.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Fix race condition that caused a ValueError when the exit
        code file was not written yet.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Automatically detect a normal user to run tests as, unless
        -u is given. This works similarly to -lxc.
      * Add tests for adt-virt-user with non-default users.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Disable shared downtmp for now, it breaks on older Qemu
        versions and the current setup does not work with different UIDs in the
        testbed.
      * adt-virt-qemu: Use file locks for host-side ssh port forwards to avoid

  • 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.

      * Test that the schroot runner installs packages with --user, and that it
        runs the tests as root with --user if the test has a "needs-root"
        restriction. (Related to #728304)

  • autopkgtest (2.5.3) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * 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
        soon. Ubuntu does, and Debian plans to drive autopkgtest from britney
        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)
      * Allow test control Depends: to have a trailing comma. Thanks Jean-Baptiste
        Lallement for the patch!
      * Make test stdout re-appear in --log-file file for realtime output.

      * Skip ChrootRunner test if running under cowdancer, as chrooting in
        cowdancer doesn't work.
      * 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".

  • autopkgtest (2.3.7) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * tests/adt-run: Factorize a base test class with common functionality.
      * lib/VirtSubproc.py, downtmp_mktemp(): Create temporary directory in the
        target (which isn't the host for anything but the null runner), to fix 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.
      * tests/testpkg: Go back to compat level 7 so that this also works on older
        Debian/Ubuntu releases.
