Hello Johannes, Johannes Schauer [2016-08-04 14:05 +0200]: > the autopkgtest 4.0.2 release broke the adt-virt-* interface that > autopkgtest used to provide before this release.
Sorry about that! I committed https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/commit/?id=00d46b4ad to put backwards compat symlinks into /usr/bin for the time being. I will upload that RSN (still need to investigate/fix the recently reported RC bug). As discussed in https://bugs.debian.org/833407 these are only backwards compat shims, though. I would appreciate if sbuild could move from /usr/bin/adt-virt-XXX to /usr/share/autopkgtest/virt/XXX. As pointed out in that bug, I don't actually recommend using the virt runners directly, as the encoding, timeout handling etc. are non-trivial to reimplement. For projects that use Python, using the adt_testbed.py module directly is a lot simpler and more robust: | $ python3 | >>> import sys | >>> sys.path.append('/usr/share/autopkgtest/lib') | >>> import adt_testbed | >>> tb = adt_testbed.Testbed(['/usr/share/autopkgtest/virt/schroot', 'sid'], '/tmp/outdir', None) | >>> tb.start() | [19:38:29]: version 4.0+git1 | [19:38:29]: host donald; command line: '' | >>> tb.open() | [19:41:40]: testbed dpkg architecture: amd64 | [19:41:40]: testbed running kernel: Linux 4.4.0-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 10 18:19:48 UTC 2016 | >>> tb.exec_cmd | ['schroot', '--run-session', '--quiet', '--directory=/', '--chroot', 'sid-amd64-73a61cc9-fb04-4a44-8dd6-2a467d096f61', '--user=root', '--'] | >>> tb.execute(['cat', '/etc/os-release']) | PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid" | NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" | ID=debian | HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"; | SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"; | BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"; | (0, None, None) | >>> tb.stop() (Check the execute() docstring for more details, in particular the "kind=" attribute for setting the timeout.)
