** Description changed: ***************************** **** WIP ******************** **** DON'T REVIEW THAT YET*** This SRU follows the exception process as outlined at https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception- autopkgtest-Updates rather than the standard SRU rules. [Impact] This release contains both bug fixes and new features and we would like to make sure all of our developers have access to these improvements. The notable ones are: 5.55: * a-virt-lxd: use the kernel boot_id to detect when a reboot happened * build-docker: Adapt to use docker multi-platform images (Closes: #1125712) * tests: Don't list more than one Maintainer (Closes: #1126318) 5.54: * adt_testbed: give some time to `apt` for acquiring the dpkg lock * Set umask during mktemp call (Closes: #1107254) * Set QEMU baseline profile for RISC-V to RVA23 (LP: #2137720) 5.53: * Save artifacts in a per-test directory (Closes: #903696) * setup-testbed: include wireless interfaces in search for default iface 5.52: * setup-testbed: Ensure lxd-agent-loader is retained when present in image (LP: #2127063). 5.51: * Assume the base testbed release to be the one providing base-files * Run ps(1) on leaked processed only if ps(1) is available. Thanks to Ferenc Wágner (Closes: #1112625) * Testbed: fix apt pinning for old apt releases 5.50: * test_timeout_no_output: make test work with non-GNU coreutils (LP: #2117709) * Fix Launchpad username validation in PPA sources (LP: #2119533) * build-docker: Default to archive.debian.org for EOL releases (Closes: #1083163) * Use 'systemctl reboot' instead of 'reboot' with systemd 5.49: * NEWS.Debian: Document the security fixes in 5.48 5.48: * Various security fixes * SECURITY: autopkgtest-virt-*: Don't make downtmp dangerously world-writeable * SECURITY: Fix mode (permissions) of AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS * SECURITY: autopkgtest-virt-null: Do not advertise isolation-machine * SECURITY: Fix autopkgtest-virt-unshare to not advertise downtmp-host * SECURITY: Only chmod copied-down things world-writeable with --insecure See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.

Additionally, the following PPAs should be tested manually under normal development conditions to ensure normal functionality works as intended. - https://launchpad.net/~antoinelassagne/+archive/ubuntu/sru-autopkgtest-5.55 Please take a moment to test cross-arch testing in particular, as it has no automated testing. Documentation of this feature can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration#How_to_run_cross-architecture_autopkgtest_locally_using_QEMU 'mawk' is a particularly well-suited package for testing cross-arch functionality. [Where problems could occur] As always with those big updates, there might be corner-case issues not covered by the automated test suite. Given that this tool is mainly used by developers, users are likely to find workarounds or report bugs when they find them.
