Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.15 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
This wishlist is in the same spirit as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973592 When --ram-size 5120 is given to autopkgtest, linux-image-686 can only use 3GB, while linux-image-686-pae can use 5 GB. linux-image-686-pae should enable faster testing of larger packages. In addition, Debian Jessie also has linux-image-686-pae, while it does not have linux-image-686 (it has linux-image-586). A suggested patch to autopkgtest-build-qemu is below. --- usr/bin/autopkgtest-build-qemu-orig 2020-11-01 17:57:05.974493964 +0900 +++ usr/bin/autopkgtest-build-qemu 2020-11-03 06:04:45.602745803 +0900 @@ -216,14 +216,7 @@ kernel=linux-image-parisc ;; (i386) - case "$release" in - (jessie) - kernel=linux-image-586 - ;; - (*) - kernel=linux-image-686 - ;; - esac + kernel=linux-image-686-pae ;; (ppc64) kernel=linux-image-powerpc64 Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 2.1.11 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.5 ii procps 2:3.3.16-5 ii python3 3.8.2-3 ii python3-debian 0.1.38 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.24 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd <none> ii ovmf 2020.08-1 ii qemu-efi-aarch64 2020.08-1 ii qemu-efi-arm 2020.08-1 ii qemu-system 1:5.1+dfsg-4+b1 ii qemu-utils 1:5.1+dfsg-4+b1 pn schroot <none> ii vmdb2 0.19-1 -- no debconf information
