Package: wnpp I have been the only de-facto maintainer of autopkgtest for some years, Ian does not have time for it any more. This has been fine so far as maintaining Ubuntu's CI machinery has been a major part of my current job in Canonical. However, from next year on I will move somewhere else and thus won't have much time for autopkgtest any more. As this is a central piece in Debian's CI too, it would be good to get more hands on it.
Coordination and discussion happens on http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/autopkgtest-devel which is fairly low-traffic. I'm happy to review patches and sponsor uploads, but I'd really like to mentor other people about the structure, how to test autopkgtest itself locally, etc. Description: 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. Thanks in advance!
