[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST v3 00/19] add distro domU testing flight

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The following series adds a new flight type intended to test distro domU
support, i.e. running distro installers and kernels on top of current
Xen to ensure things work. I intend for the flight to be run on a weekly
basis, and I've scheduled it here to run at the weekend when in theory
things might be quieter.

I've initially just done Debian PV domU support since Debian is what I
know, but I hope others will add other distros as time goes on.

The series introduces support for running the Debian Installer in a PV
domU booting from netboot (PXE-ish) and netinst (ISO media) and adding
jobs to test all of those for Squeeze onwards up to Sid and the
daily/weekly builds (CDs are built daily, DVDs weekly).

The flight is a bit unusual since distro installer builds are not really
versioned in a way which is useful to osstest, so instead each flight
will be compared against the previous run only.

Compared with the previous version I've addressed the review comments
and I've also reworked the cr-daily-branch changes after discussion with
Ian. I've run this a few times in play mode on the production system and
things are looking pretty good. See
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~xensrcts/logs/31967/ for the latest
results.

Most tests passed modulo a few host install failures and the fact that
Debian Jessie+Sid don't install right now for tedious Debian reasons
(the nightlies are OK though, so these will be fixed next time d-i is
uploaded). The armhf failures should be addressed by the patch at the
end of the series.

The exception to that good news is that sg-report-flight
--that-flight=NNN MMM doesn't seem to be considering failures in MMM
regressions vs NNN. e.g. test-amd64-i386-i386-daily-netboot-pvgrub
should appear as a regression from 31961 to 31964 but isn't. I'm going
to have a poke around that.

The new Debian install functionality here also gives us the opportunity
to test pygrub and pvgrub, so a couple of jobs are added to the regular
tests using installer images versioned via TftpDiVersion in the usual
way. This requires an early patch "mg-debian-installer-update: grab Xen
PV domU capable images too" to go in and a patch to update TftpDiVersion
to a refreshed version to be inserted before "Test pygrub and pvgrub on
the regular flights" is committed.

I've also pushed a branch:
