[Bug 1407587] Re: Provide testing in Ubuntu Snappy images

[Martin Pitt]

Fixed in 3.9, forgot to mark in changelog:

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.
[...]

Title:
  Provide testing in Ubuntu Snappy images

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  autopkgtest should grow a ssh setup script for running tests on Ubuntu
  Snappy. It should run

    sudo ubuntu-device-flash core --output=/tmp/snappy.img --developer-
  mode

  (which is fast as images get cached in ~/.cache/ubuntuimages), or take
  an already existing snappy image as an option.

  For now this will only support deb Depends: in unpack mode as the
  image is readonly.

  Note that in the future autopkgtest should also grow support for snap
  packages, but they are still being defined, so that's for a later
  time.
