Package: autopkgtest
Version: 2.11
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I want to write a dep8 test for python-diskimage-builder. The test
should do something like this:
1) Create a qemu image (with: disk-image-create -a amd64 -u -o debian-amd64 vm
debian)
2) Boot the image with qemu
3) Try to login with ssh
For the first step, disk-image-create uses debootstrap which needs
access to a Debian mirror but during the tests I can not assume to have
internet access. So I need a mirror which I can use for the tests.
I guess other packages (ie debootstrap, openstack-debian-images)
need this as well to write dep8 tests.
Cheers,
Tom

Hey Thomas,

Having internet access, or a local mirror is not a function of
autopkgtest itself, but of the test environment. adt-run can't
guarantee any generic internet access, but it can, and must, assume
that it can access the distro's package repository. After all, it must
be able to install package's build and test dependencies. So running
debootstrap is not a problem at all, and we use that in several tests
at least in Ubuntu (pbuilder, sbuild, lxc).
For running debootstrap it's probably a good idea to take the apt
mirror from /etc/apt/sources.list instead of just assuming a static
one like cdn.debian.net.
