Well, we could have the launchpad-dependencies source package build another 'launchpad-headless-tests' package or something, but I don't think it's much extra on a developer system really. >>> Oh, and I guess PQM will have to be updated as well, since we currently >>> run tests there for cherry picks, right? >>> >>> Ideally the images should be updated on Monday, when PQM is open again. >>> I don't want to do it earlier, to avoid disrupting any possible rollout, >>> and I don't want it done much later, since we need to get started >>> running the tests early, so that we can fix any issues before the 3.1.12 >>> rollout. >> Monday sounds ambitious but doable. > > Yeah, that's why I said 'ideally' :) I suspect it will take a bit longer > to get everything updated. > >> If you can get >> launchpad-developer-dependencies updated, I can do the EC2 test images >> on my Monday -- drop me a mail. > > You wouldn't happen to know which extra packages were installed to get > it to work? I'm assuming xvfb needs to be there. But what about firefox, > which packages where installed to get it to run? Plain 'firefox', or > something else? My IRC logs suggest this was the magic line: apt-get -y install xvfb firefox xfonts-base (I actually meant to put this in the email I sent yesterday and clearly forgot, sorry about that).
