autopkgtest (3.9.5) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * adt-run install_tmp(): If we have Python and Perl modules, don't specify
    the Python modules in $PERL5LIB.
  * Recognize udev rules from packages in temp dir install mode. Copy them to
    /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)

autopkgtest (3.9.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Recognize modern "Package-Type:" control field in addition to
    XC-Package-Type.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Guard adb wait-for-device with a 5 min timeout.
    (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    out of date.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
    accessible, as we don't necessarily have local logind sessions during
    tests. (part of LP #1415514)
  * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Unset UPSTART_JOB (which crept into
    the environment from a recent upstart version) when calling initctl, to
    fix querying the session D-BUS address. (LP: #1415514)

autopkgtest (3.9.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Kastner ]
  * Clean up /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/autopkgtest on upgrades if its contents are
    just "force-unsafe-io", indicating that this file was generated by the
    above bug.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Sun, 11 Jan 2015 13:45:28 +0100

autopkgtest (3.9.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-setup-vm: Fix all other places which operated on the host instead of
    the guest file system when specifying a directory argument.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Sun, 11 Jan 2015 13:15:09 +0100

autopkgtest (3.9.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Revert installation of ubuntu-device-flash in adt-run autopkgtest, it's
    too unstable (timeouts and grub errors due to qemu in qemu).

  [ Christian Kastner ]
  * adt-run: Fix detection of dpkg-dev in the testbed. (Closes: #775073)
  * adt-setup-vm: Set umask to 0022 so that ordinary users in the testbed can
    read generated files. (Closes: #775075)
  * adt-setup-vm: Modify guest's dpkg config for enabling force-unsafe-io, not
    host's, when a root directory is specified as argument. (Closes: #775076)
  * adt-setup-vm: Make sure $proxy variable exists before using it. Fixes
    crash when apt is not configured to use a proxy. (Closes: #775092)

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Sun, 11 Jan 2015 12:53:18 +0100

autopkgtest (3.9) unstable; urgency=medium

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

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

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 05 Jan 2015 18:09:03 +0100

autopkgtest (3.8.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * If the testbed does not have root privileges (e. g. missing sudo
    password), install click packages with pkcon and skip the AppArmor rule
    adjustment. This makes non-root click tests at least work for
    non-Autopilot cases. (LP: #1384417)
  * 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)
  * Don't put the log FIFO into the output directory. This avoids keeping it
    in --output-dir, which fails if the output dir happens to be in the tested
    tree itself. (LP: #1393426)
  * adt-setup-vm: Don't purge man-db. It uninstalls way too much on images
    which aren't just minimal environments.
  * adt-setup-vm: Drop bogus "X-Start-Before" line in generated init.d script.
    (Closes: #770517)
  * Respect DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck (side issue in #769687)

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Nov 2014 10:54:02 +0100

autopkgtest (3.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * adt-build-lxc: Configure unsafe dpkg I/O and disable apt's download of
    package translations, like adt-setup-vm.
  * adt-build-lxc: Use eatmydata for lxc-create if available, and install
    eatmydata into containers. For Ubuntu, stop installing the default
    $packages_template (which is ssh,vim).
  * adt-virt-lxc: Pass any additional options/arguments (after --) verbatim to
    lxc-start{,-ephemeral}.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Stop running ephemeral containers with --keep-data by
    default, as this makes them unnecessarily slow due to running on disk.
    Environments with little RAM are instead advised to explicitly supply this
    or --storage-type as extra arguments.

  Bug fixes:
  * Create autopkgtest-reboot command in /tmp, as /sbin/ might be read-only
    (and /run is usually "noexec", so we can't put it there either). Write it
    with "noclobber" to guard against symlink attacks.
  * During reboot, if /var/cache/ isn't writable (as on Ubuntu touch images,
    argh), fall back to saving the current temp dir in /home.
  * adt-virt-ssh: Recreate the sudo wrapper after reboot, as it is in /tmp.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Setup adb port forwarding again after rebooting.
  * Fix error message if /tmp/autopkgtest-reboot already exists.
  * Fix extra space in apt-get option, which breaks apt-get's option parsing
    in some circumstances.
  * adt-build-lxc: Fix hardcoded "utopic" release name for cache cleanup on
    btrfs, use the actual release name from the command line. (LP: #1392589)

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Fri, 14 Nov 2014 08:40:28 +0100

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 11 Nov 2014 07:54:40 +0100

autopkgtest (3.7) unstable; urgency=medium

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

  Bug fixes:
  * adt-virt-ssh: Terminate the ssh connection muxer on cleanup. Fixes eternal
    hangs on waiting for tee with the --output-dir option, as the muxer
    inherits our stderr. (LP: #1384324)
  * Fix crash when running from a git checkout, but git is not installed.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Robustify powerd-cli invocation. It previously failed
    randomly.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Quiesce some noise from various phablet-config/gdbus/adb
    commands.
  * ssh-setup/adb: If the welcome wizard is already running, just kill that
    instead of the entire session. In particular, this avoids killing adb on
    both the host and the device.

autopkgtest (3.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * 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)

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:36:11 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 09 Oct 2014 15:20:15 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:22:17 +0200

autopkgtest (3.5.3) unstable; urgency=medium

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

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Sun, 28 Sep 2014 12:16:16 +0200

autopkgtest (3.5.2) unstable; urgency=medium

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

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

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 23 Sep 2014 09:31:29 +0200

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.
    (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1367730)
  * lxc: Fix lxc-clone option (--new, not --name).

  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Use host's http[s] proxy in the VM, rewriting
    localhost addresses accordingly.
  * 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)
  * adt-virt-lxc: Source /etc/profile as well, to get $PATH in Debian
    environments.

autopkgtest (3.4) unstable; urgency=medium

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

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

autopkgtest (3.3.3) unstable; urgency=medium

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

autopkgtest (3.3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

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

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.

  Bug fixes:
  * When running a test as user on a root testbed, run source extraction under
    set -e, to fail early at the proper error. (LP: #1346388)
  * Add test case for non-existing --apt-source package name.
  * Add "installed" autopkgtest to run adt-run against a simple source tree in
    $ADTTMP, to avoid using Python modules from the autopkgtest source tree.
    This spots grave bugs like in 3.2.1.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 23 Jul 2014 09:16:08 +0200

autopkgtest (3.2.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-run: Fix typo that broke --apt-source with "build-needed" tests.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 21 Jul 2014 15:07:17 +0200

autopkgtest (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Ship forgotten adt_run_args module.

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

autopkgtest (3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * Add --copy option to copy a file or directory into the testbed.
  * Support specifying a click name like "com.example.myapp" with --click to
    test an already installed click instead of a local *.click file.
    (LP: #1338899)
  * Introduce "autopilot_module" click test control field for specifying an
    autopilot test module name. This allows tests to require additional test
    dependencies, restrictions, etc. without having to specify the full
    invocation of autopilot. (LP: #1338911)
  * In "unpack into temp dir" mode, ignore Python 2.x test dependencies. They
    are not exposed anyway as with $PYTHONPATH we can only serve one major
    Python version, and we want Python 3.
  * Port remaining runners from obsolete optparse to modern argparse. This
    gives a consistent command line help and support for reading options from
    a file with '@'.
  * Port adt-run to argparse, and clean up the CLI:
    - Drop rarely used and confusing options: --instantiate, --sources-tests,
    --sources-no-tests, --built-binaries-filter,
    --binaries{,-forbuilds,-fortests}. Add a single new --built-binaries as
      the opposite of -B/--no-built-binaries.
    - CLI parsing is now done in lib/adt_run_args.py, with separate unit
      tests.
    - This now allows any part of the command line (for adt-run itself or the
      virt-server or both) to be read from a file, using the '@' prefix.
      (Closes: #749241)
    - Separate the options into different logical groups, in both --help and
      the manpage.
  * Make --override-control work for click manifests. (LP: #1342818)
  * Introduce "Test-Command:" debian/tests/control field to run a shell
    command instead of a "Tests" named executable. This avoids having to write
    trivial one-liner scripts or allows wrapping calls to test executables.
    (Closes: #741330)

  Bug fixes:
  * Set $USER environment variable also for tests that run as root.
    (LP: #1337802)
  * Add lintian override for ssh-setup/SKELETON, it's deliberately not
    executable.
  * Increase timeout for aa-clickhook workaround for LP#1337253, 100s is often
    not enough.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Disabling the first-time wizards sometimes fails due to adb
    being brittle at that time. Retry up to 5 times.
  * Optimize aa-clickhook workaround for LP #1337253 to only rebuild the
    profile of the installed click app. This reduces the time from about a
    minute to about a second.
  * qemu, lxc: Use VirtSubproc subprocess wrappers to get timeout handling for
    all commands.
  * Rewrite build depends to not rely on builders being able to fall back to
    alternatives (python >= 3.3 | python3-mock), to ease backporting.
  * tests/pyflakes: Use pyflakes3.
  * Only run pyflakes test during package build if pyflakes3 is available.
    This unbreaks backports.
  * Run "click info" as the same user as the test. (LP: #1342836)
  * Keep <testname>-stderr output files for "allow-stderr" tests.

autopkgtest (3.1) unstable; urgency=low

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

  Bug fixes:
  * Work around subprocess.Popen bug in Python 3.2.
  * lib/testdesc.py: Change exceptions to be Python 3.2 compatible.
  * Kill the actual test on timeout instead of just the wrapping shell script.
  * Fix workaround for LP #1333215: Don't run with "su -l" as that causes
    extra stdout spew from su for nonexisting home directories; instead just
    source /etc/profile and ~/.profile as these are the parts that we need.
  * Run aa-clickhook after every click install, otherwise it doesn't apply to
    newly installed clicks. Works around LP #1337253.
  * Open files which can potentially contain non-ASCII data with explicit
    UTF-8 encoding, to avoid UnicodeDecodeErrors under C locale.
    (Closes: #753582)
  * Fix metavariable names in adt --help.
  * ChrootRunner tests: Retry removal of temporary chroot when busy.
  * Don't let a first failed apt-get update run break the test due to stderr;
    it gets retried 15 seconds later.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 03 Jul 2014 13:31:16 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:28:20 +0200

autopkgtest (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Install ssh setup scripts executable.
  * doc/README.running-tests.rst: Add ssh runner example.

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

autopkgtest (3.0) unstable; urgency=low

  Improvements:
  * Add support for click packages (https://click.readthedocs.org):
    - Add two new actions --click and --click-source to run tests of a click
      package. For now, --click-source is mandatory as parsing/getting the
      source from a click's x-source manifest entry is not yet implemented.
    - Add doc/README.click-tests.rst to document test definition for click
      packages.
    - Add setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: --setup-commands script for
      installing click, the Ubuntu SDK, some extra packages for autopilot, and
      launching Xvfb and an user upstart session. This approximates the
      environment of an Ubuntu touch device. You can also run
      setup-commands/ro-apt afterwards.
  * If the testbed does not have root (null runner or schroots without
      root-user/group) or a writable dpkg database (as on Ubuntu system
      images), fall back to unpacking test dependencies into a temporary
      directory and set *_PATH environment variables accordingly. This will
      make a limited number of test dependencies work in these test beds.
  * Add setup-commands/ro-apt for making dpkg/apt readonly, to
    approximate what happens with Ubuntu system images.

  * Add adt-virt-ssh runner: Generic runner for an externally set up testbed
    which assumes nothing else than a working ssh connection. This can call a
    "setup script" to create/configure a testbed (such as spinning up a cloud
    VM with nova or setting up SSH on a phone through ADB). See the manpage
    for details. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!
  * Add ssh-setup/SKELETON for a basis to write ssh setup scripts.
  * Add ssh-setup/adb: Set up an ssh connection to an adb host. If that adb
    host is an Ubuntu Touch system, it also does some extra configuration like
    disabling the screen timeout and allowing Autopilot to introspect running
    apps. See header commends for details. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!
  * Add ssh-setup/nova: Sets up a nova instance to use as an autopkgtest
    testbed. It assumes that the host system is already prepared to run nova
    commands. This is not very robust at the moment and more like a proof of
    concept. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement!

  * Convert doc/README.* to reStructuredText and rename to *.rst. Build HTML
    files from them using rst2html and install them also.
  * adt-run: Never run testbed commands with newlines in them. Those make it
    ridiculously hard to implement runners which can only accept shell
    strings.

  Bug fixes:
  * lxc: Don't leak the host environment into the container (lxc-attach
    currently defaults to that), but build a clean and minimal environment
    from /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale.
  * Fix calling a virt server with full path.
  * lib/VirtSubProc.py, downtmp_remove(): Only remove the downtmp if it is
    actually set. This avoids confusing error messages if something fails
    during early test bed setup.
  * adt-run: set APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none when installing packages. This
    will avoid the apt-listbugs prompt when apt-listbugs is installed.
    Thanks to Antonio Terceiro!
  * schroot: Ending the schroot session sometimes fails on "Device or resource
    busy". Retry 10 times before giving up instead of failing immediately.
  * adt-run: Read /etc/profile and ~/.profile when running tests as user. This
    emulates the bits of "su -l" that we want, until this gets cleaned up for
    using "su -l" completely.
  * tests/run-parallel: Get sudo password early, to avoid asking for it in
    background jobs.
  * Restrict --apt-pocket to *.ubuntu.com and *.debian.org sources, as
    third-party repositories such as launchpad.net don't (necessarily) have
    pockets. (LP: #1334332)
  * Fix high adt-virt-* CPU usage on reading commands on stdin.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:21:55 +0200

autopkgtest (2.20) unstable; urgency=medium

  Improvements:
  * Add "Test" argument/member for a shell string command, instead of
    specifying a path to a test executable. Not currently supported by Debian
    parser.
  * Convert doc/README.* to Markdown, so that it's easy to format them as PDF
    or HTML, e. g. with pandoc.
  * If the --user option is given or the testbed specifies a normal user, pass
    this to --setup-commands through $ADT_NORMAL_USER.
  * Allow --setup-commands which would ordinarily reboot the testbed to
    suppress this by creating a stamp file in /run. This is useful for
    commands which run processes that aren't started at boot.
  * Default to C.UTF-8 locale instead of C. This is supported in Debian >= 7
    (wheezy) and Ubuntu >= 12.04 LTS, and much closer to reality than C.
  * If the testbed does not have root (null runner or schroots without
    root-user/group) or a writable dpkg database (as on Ubuntu system images),
    fall back to unpacking test dependencies into a temporary directory and
    set *_PATH environment variables accordingly. This will make a limited
    number of test dependencies work in these test beds.

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

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

autopkgtest (2.19) unstable; urgency=medium

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

  Bug fixes:
  * schroot: Always advertise "revert" capability, as it implements revert
    with simply close()/open().
  * adt-run: Move warning about missing root on testbed into the correct
    place.
  * Install build-essential and build dependencies in one apt run, which is
    slightly faster.
  * Explicity specify UTF-8 encoding for reading/writing Debian control files,
    to fix UnicodeDecodeError under C locale.
  * Determine testpkg-version also for --built-tree tests.
  * schroot: Refuse to work with non-ephemeral schroots, i. e. "directory"
    type schroots without union-type. Point this out in the manpage, too.
    (Closes: #751574)
  * schroot: Verify that /proc is mounted, and abort with a proper error
    message if not. (Closes: #751575)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't start cloud-config with a leading newline,
    not yet supported in Ubuntu 12.04's cloud-init. Thanks Jean-Baptiste
    Lallement! (LP: #1330950)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't use write_files cloud-init command, not
    yet supported in Ubuntu 12.04's cloud-init. Replace with runcmd echos.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Purge cloud-init and shutdown after cloud-init
    is done, not while it's still running.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Create upstart job for ttyS0 console unless it
    already exists, for compatibility with Ubuntu 12.04.
  * adt-virt-qemu: Use python3 or python for eofcat depending on which one is
    available. Fixes operation with older Ubuntu versions which don't yet
    install Python 3 by default.

  Code cleanup:
  * Unify logging functions into lib/adtlog.py, make their API easier and more
    consistent, and use them in adt-run and all adt-virt-*.
  * Move test control parsing and keeping data into lib/testdesc.py. This
    eases factorization, abstraction for future support of other source
    package formats such as click, and testing. Add new tests/testdesc
    unittests. This also drops the "tree0t-" like prefixes from test names in
    the results and the output file names.
  * Don't read --setup-commands files multiple times.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:07:46 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:48:58 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:03:30 +0200

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 (2.16.3) 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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 22 May 2014 15:52:36 +0200

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.

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.

    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

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

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

autopkgtest (2.9) unstable; urgency=low

  New features:
  * Add "downtmp-host=<path>" testbed capability, for runners which can set up
    a shared directory between host and testbed. This is used by copyupdown to
    more efficiently copy files back and forth, and in many/most cases, don't
    explicitly copy anything at all.
  * Introduce a new testbed capability "downtmp-shared-fifo" that declares
    that testbed and the host can use a FIFO in the shared downtmp for
    communication. Use this to generalize live test output to all runners
    which declare that, not just -null.
  * Convert null, chroot, schroot, lxc, and qemu runners to use a shared
    downtmp dir. Note that qemu does not support FIFO (through the 9p file
    system), so that one does not get live test output.
  * Don't define $TMPDIR for tests any more. Having $TMPDIR in the shared dir
    isn't efficient and even breaks some tests (as they might not be able to
    put sockets etc. into it), and it's an artificial difference to the
    default system behaviour of just using /tmp. The documentation already was
    changed a long time ago to only document $ADTTMP as a scratch directory
    for tests.
  * Add test restrictions "isolation-container" and "isolation-machine", and
    corresponding testbed capabilities. Tests can use that to declare that
    they want to start services or open ports (i. e. a simple chroot/schroot
    is insufficient) or access hardware, reboot,  and interact the kernel
    (where even a container is insufficient), and will be skipped instead of
    failing when they run in a virtualization server which does not provide
    enough isolation.
  * Add manpage for adt-build-lxc script.
  * Ship adt-build-lxc script and its manpage in the package.

  Documentation updates:
  * doc/README.package-tests: Some stylistic updates, and add section headers.
  * adt-virt-lxc.1: Point to, and show how to use adt-build-lxc.
  * Add doc/README.running-tests: Overview of how to run adt-run, most common
    scenarios, and available virtualization servers with their pros/cons.

  Bug fixes:
  * tests: Copy tests/home/ into a temporary dir and set $HOME to that, to
    avoid cluttering the source dir.
  * Don't produce empty stderr/stdout files with --output-dir. (LP: #1282866)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Install linux-generic, to get the full kernel
    (needed for e. g. udisks2 to get scsi_debug).
  * tests: Add a broken symlink to testpkg, to ensure that copying trees
    around gets along with those.
  * adt-run: Always use fakeroot with adt-virt-qemu, to work around chown
    failing on 9p.
  * xen/initscript: Always source /lib/lsb/init-functions. (Thanks lintian)
  * tests/adt-run: Increase timeout in NullRunner.test_timeout_long_build to
    avoid failure on slow architectures.
  * adt-build-lxc: Properly wait for finished container boot instead of a
    static 10 second sleep.

  * Add adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: This tool downloads an Ubuntu cloud image
    and configures it for autopkgtest. See its manpage for how to use it.
  * adt-run: Stop using a $TMPDIR for package builds. It's unnecessary
    overhead, and causes problems with dpkg-deb if it is on e. g. a 9p file
    system.
  * Allow the virt-server argument to be given without the common "adt-virt-"
    prefix, for brevity. Update the manpage accordingly, and also move

    "other options".
  * tests: Show stderr output if adt-run unexpectedly fails.
  * Fix endless recursion when an error happens during resetting apt.
  * tests: Fix skip message if no container is given; it does not need to be
    an Ubuntu cloud container any more.

  * adt-virt-lxc: Drop all the file-based checks for container bootup, and

    cloud-init requirement so that this runner is now suitable for Debian or
    debootstrap-based Ubuntu containers. (LP: #1273725)
  * adt-virt-lxc.1: Drop --gain-root in notes/example. It's unnecessary
    (adt-run will install fakeroot if missing) and confusing (as it's not
    related to LXC specifically and otherwise not really used/useful).
  * adt-virt-lxc.1: Add example how to create a Debian container, and some
    cleanup of obsolete commentary.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Add -s/--sudo option to run lxc-* commands through sudo; use
    this option if you run adt-run as normal user, but need to run the
    container itself as root (if you use LXC system-level containers).
    This drops the hardcoded sudo commands and thus the dependency on sudo,
    which is more palatable for Debian. (LP: #1273977)
  * adt-virt-lxc: Add -e shortcut for --ephemeral, as this is an option which
    you pretty much always want.
  * adt-virt-lxc.1: Move more important options to the top.
  * adt-virt-lxc: Stop hardcoding the "ubuntu" suggested normal user; instead,

  New features:
  * Add --apt-source option as an alternative for --source, implied if

    instead of using a .dsc from the host, which for the common case of
    testing packages in the acual archive avoids having to manually download
    the source and then copying it into the testbed. This simplifies the
    command line for running tests for a package in the archive to
    "adt-run mypkgname --- adt-virt-[...]".
  * Add --setup-commands option to run things like "apt-get update" or adding
    apt sources after opening the testbed.

  Bug fixes:
  * adt-virt-lxc: Stop assuming that containers live in /var/lib/lxc/; ask
    lxc-config about the root path instead.
  * Only reset the test bed after the build stage if builds actually happened.

  * virt-subproc/adt-virt-lxc: Fix PEP-8 error.
  * Explicitly kill the logging tee processes, for backwards compatibility
    with Python 2.6.
  * Avoid assertNotRegex() in test suite as it isn't yet available in Python
    3.1.
  * Skip dependency version check instead of crashing if python-debian does
    not provide NativeVersion() (for wheezy/lucid).
  * Fix some minor PEP-8 errors.

autopkgtest (2.5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * adt-virt-lxc: Drop some dead code.
  * Fix ownership of test tree with --user option.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 26 Nov 2013 10:43:30 +0100

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 25 Nov 2013 07:31:22 +0100

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:25:30 +0100

autopkgtest (2.3.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * 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".

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 16 Oct 2013 14:55:39 +0200

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.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:55:33 +0200

autopkgtest (2.3.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Always kill the tee children after a test finishes, to avoid race
    condition when they get stuck in a read() call which doesn't return with
    "no data".
  * Fix pyflakes failure on older Debian/Ubuntu releases.
  * Fix PEP-8 errors.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:12:11 +0200

autopkgtest (2.3.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't show source_rules_command() "set -x" trace unless running with -d.
  * Kill the tee child process if the testbed bombs out (e. g. due to a
    timeout), to avoid hanging eternally. Add test case for --timeout-test
    handling.
  * Add test case for --summary option.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:51:21 +0200

autopkgtest (2.3.4) unstable; urgency=low

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

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

    been replaced with https://launchpad.net/auto-package-testing, Jenkins,
    and blocking migration to release until tests pass. (LP: #381210)
  * Promote apt-utils from Recommends to Depends:, to avoid test failures due
    to not finding apt-ftparchive. (LP: #1065874)
  * Promote pbuilder from Recommends: to Depends:, as we always call
    pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic. (LP: #1065874)

    (LP: #1065873)
  * runner/adt-run: Fix timeout --help output.
  * runner/adt-run: Fix bomb() to clean up the testbed before removing it.
    Afterwards (in cleanup()) we don't have a testbed object any more to run
    commands in. (LP: #1157292)
  * runner/adt-run: Fix UnicodeDecodeError crash if stderr contains non-ASCII
    characters. (LP: #1100283)
  * Add "allow-stderr" restriction for tests where re-routing or disabling
    stderr is impractical. (LP: #1197005)

autopkgtest (1.0.4) gutsy; urgency=low

  * adt-testreport-onepackage:
    - Handling of source packages' Architecture: field corrected
      so package selection works properly.
    - Use ln -f when installing summary.
    - Capability to suppress emails similar to ones already sent.
    - Launchpad bug filing including PGP-signing, `affects' line, etc.
    - Capability to suppress email for packages listed in a
      suppression file.
    - Better formatting and explanations in some emails.

  * adt-run:
    - Options for setting timeouts.
    - Increase default timeouts 100s, 3ks, 10ks, 100ks.
  
  * hosts/chinstrap/*:
     Screen-scrape Launchpad to get existing bugs and generate a suitable
     suppression file so we file a bug iff there isn't one already. 
  
  * hosts/cadmium/*:
     New directory for convenience scripts etc on Canonical buildd.

autopkgtest (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (1.0.0) gutsy; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (0.9.2) unreleased; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (0.9.1) gutsy; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (0.9.0) gutsy; urgency=low

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

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

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

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

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

autopkgtest (0.8.2feisty1~iwj) feisty-updates; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (0.8.2) gutsy unstable; urgency=low

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

autopkgtest (0.8.1) feisty; urgency=low

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

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

autopkgtest (0.8.0) feisty; urgency=low

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

  * Fixed various packaging problems.

autopkgtest (0.6.1) edgy; urgency=low

  * autopkgtest-xenlvm: filter output from debootstrap to make

    forwarding is turned off.
  * Add missing file `xen/justconfig' to bzr.
