[ubuntu/trusty-proposed] autopkgtest 2.8 (Accepted)

[Martin Pitt]

autopkgtest (2.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add adt-virt-qemu: Virtualization server using QEMU. This provides even
    more isolation than containers and thus is able to run tests which
    interact with the kernel. See the manpage for the requirements that VMs
    need to satisfy, and how to use it. (Closes: #719215)
  * 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
    virt-server into its own heading instead of burying it in the middle of
    "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.
  * Add tools/adt-build-lxc: Script to create or upgrade a Debian/Ubuntu
    container, suitable as a daily cron (or Jenkins) job. Not shipped in
    package for now.
  * Allow --setup-commands to be given multiple times.
  * Add -U/--apt-upgrade option to run apt-get update/dist-upgrade before
    running the test.
  * Add --apt-pocket <pocket> option to create an additional apt source for
    release-pocket.
