tools/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Enable ssh login with passwords.

* Fix "--build-tree" typo in error message, and also add the missing
  --unbuilt-tree. (Closes: #743427)
* lxc: Enable live output in clone mode.

Split package/version list that got introduced in 2.10: Introduce a new
output file "testbed-packages" with the packages and versions of the
pristine testbed, and filter them out of "<testname>-packages", so that
the latter only contains the packages and versions that are specific to
that test. This is generally more useful, and how debci does/wants it.

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.
  (LP: #1300031)

[ Antonio Terceiro ]
* adt-virt-schroot: Add new option -s/--session-id for specifying a custom
  schroot session id. This is useful for debugging test suites that go crazy
  on ci.debian.net, so you can `schroot --list --all-sessions` and see which
  sessions are still open.

* Add tools/adt-setup-vm: Setup script for vmdebootstrap (and potentially
  others) to start a root shell on tty1, set up networking for eth0, and
  enable deb-src apt sources.
* adt-virt-qemu.1: Describe how to create a suitable Debian VM with
  vmdebootstrap.
* doc/README.package-tests: Point out to use "build-needed" with
  consideration.
* Make installation of packages/dependencies print a warning instead of
  failing immediately when root is not available on the testbed. This allows
  tests to be run with the "null" runner locally as user with some
  restrictions. Check if dpkg-source is available before installing
  dpkg-dev, to avoid the warning in that simple case. (Closes: #742242)
* Fix ugly error message if a package does not have a debian/tests/
  directory. Properly fail with code 8 and "SKIP no tests in this package".
* Clean up temporary files in NullRunner tests.

* Record name and version of tested package in log and in
  output-dir/testpkg-version. (first part of LP #1292431)
* Record installed packages and their versions for each test, in
  <output-dir>/<test>-packages. (second half of LP: #1292431)
* Drop adt-testreport-*, adt-openbugs-*: These have been marked deprecated
  for a while, haven't been used or maintained in many years, and are
  superseded by jenkins/debci. (Closes: #695974)

73. By Martin Pitt on 2014-03-12

* VirtSubproc.py, copydown_shareddir(): Fix "src and dest are the same file"
  error when file is already in the shared downtmp.
* VirtSubproc.py, copydown_shareddir(): Remove already existing target
  directory to avoid copying an updated directory into the old one.
* adt-run: Show timestamps at the beginning, start of preparation (i. e.
  mostly installing dependencies), and start and end of tests.
  (LP: #1290760)
* Run NullRunnerNoRoot tests during package build. Add python-debian build
  dependency for that.

72. By Martin Pitt on 2014-03-06

[ Martin Pitt ]
* doc/README.package-tests: Clarify syntax of test Depends:, and point to
  the relevant Debian Policy specification.
* adt-build-lxc: Fall back to assuming /var/lib/lxc/ as container directory
  if lxc-config does not exist. It was introduced in 1.0, but Debian
  unstable still has 0.9. (Closes: #740437)
* tests: Extend test_artifacts() to multiple tests writing artifacts, also
  with overwriting existing files and writing into subdirs.
* VirtSubproc: Fix copyup_shareddir() to get along with existing
  directories. (LP: #1288668)
* settings.make: Switch default prefix to /usr, as our scripts hardcode that
  for finding VirtSubproc.py and this is a native package. (LP: #1287264)

[ Steve Langasek ]
* Fix adt-virt-schroot to correctly return root-on-testbed when we're
  running adt-run as root. (Closes: #740868)

71. By Martin Pitt on 2014-02-27

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.
* adt-build-lxc: Only flush the cache when updating an existing container.

70. By Martin Pitt on 2014-02-21

* Use the install timeout instead of the short one for
  --setup-commands/--apt-upgrade.
* Fix --apt-upgrade to not hang on dpkg conffile prompts.
* Use ./tests/home/ as $HOME during tests, and add a gpg key to it so that
  we don't have to generate one (which often hangs due to lack of entropy).
* Make the test suite run as user, skip tests which require root (all
  ChrootRunner and most NullRunner tests).
