Well, it's sad there was no positive answer, but FWIW, this does not really indicate that all Debian Live downstreams do things by hand: e.g. grml folks did not answer, while they do run automated tests. >> I also strongly suggest looking at grml's setup (that uses kantan). >> Pointers and resources there: >> https://tails.boum.org/todo/automated_builds_and_tests/#index8h2 Did you do so, and if you did, what was the outcome? > For now, I'm being stuck : > I have scenarios, but I have no clear ideas about how they can be run, > because most of them are boot-related. I have a hard time believing neither the grml tools, nor any of the ones listed on our automated build and test resources [0], can be at least used as a basis. Perhaps they are too complex and/or lacking needed functionality, but please beware of the NIH syndrome :) [0] https://tails.boum.org/todo/automated_builds_and_tests/#index8h2 And perhaps, eventually, the autotest framework won't look that overkill.

KVM (qemu-kvm package) from testing/sid boots pretty well from a USB 2.0 device passed through the host to the guest. I'm unsure about regular qemu. I'm using this in libvirt/virt-manager. I hope this un-stucks you a bit :) Cheers, -- intrigeri | GnuPG key @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/intrigeri.asc | OTR fingerprint @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/otr.asc _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
