autopkgtest 2.6 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

autopkgtest (2.6) unstable; urgency=medium


  New features:
  * Add --apt-source option as an alternative for --source, implied if
    argument is a valid package name. It calls "apt-get source" in the testbed
    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.
  * Reset the test bed after running a test group, to avoid an unnecessary
    setup if there is just one test.
  * Don't put an empty "binaries" directory into the output directory.

  New test cases:
  * --timeout handling.

Binary packages built by this source

autopkgtest: automatic as-installed testing for Debian packages

 autopkgtest runs tests on binary packages. The tests are run on the
 package as installed on a testbed system (which may be found via a
 virtualisation or containment system). The tests are expected to be
 supplied in the corresponding Debian source package.
 .
 See autopkgtest(1) and /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest.
 Depending on which virtualization server you want to use, you need to
 install additional packages (schroot, lxc, lxd, or qemu-system)
 .
 For generating tests of well-known source packages such as Perl and Ruby
 libraries you should install the autodep8 package.

autopkgtest-xenlvm: autopkgtest Xen/LVM2 based testbed snapshot system

 Machinery for setting up a Xen domain which can be resumed over and
 over again, discarding changes made each time. This can be useful
 for automated testing and other advanced techniques; autopkgtest is
 able to make use of this machinery for its virtualisation needs.
 .
 You will need a working Xen setup to make use of this software. Your
 network administrator will need to provide support for the testbeds'
 networking requirements. See the README for documentation.
