Highlights
This week has been mostly focused in releasing virt-test, syncing
autotest next and master branches, and performing grid maintenance. Our
maintainers and contributors were pretty busy reviewing patches and
writing them :)
Commits on next - autotest
Since last week, after some work on the test grid used for KVM and QEMU
testing, some ideas to make test jobs that install client machines with
new Operating systems more robust, and not a whole lot more.
Cleber Rosa (2):
server status RPC method: deal with servers without a install server
autotest-scheduller: add the dependency on mysql to the systemd
service file
Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues (3):
Merge pull request #740 from clebergnu/server_status_install_server
server.hosts.remote: When install server is not available, retry
Merge pull request #742 from clebergnu/autotestd_service_dep
Commits on next - virt-test
As you all know, virt-test 2013.09.17 was released Tuesday, with a lot
of interesting changes, as well as bugfixes:
* Mass spelling and coding style fixes. Now virt-test and autotest
both comply to PEP8.
* New windows disk write test
* New vmcore correctness test
* New utils_conn module
* Aexpect now supports commands longer than 2MB (root only)
* Parallelize disk image processing, speed up tests that involve a
massive amount of disks
* Updates to SR-IOV testing code (PciAssignable class)
* Fixes to QEMU command line generation code on RHEL5
https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/compare/2013.09.03...2013.09.17
This is all a direct result of a test grid with more machines, that let
me perform more tests after the releases so we find more bugs and fix them.
Since the release, we had bugfixes that were uncovered during virt-test
regression testing and new libvirt tests, attach_disk and detach_disk.
Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues (4):
virttest.test_setup: Improve error message
virttest.qemu_vm: Fix coding style
virttest.qemu_vm: Fix error in string repr of MigrateError
physical_resources_check: Convert exceptions to strings before
concatenation
yangdongsheng (3):
Add attach_disk and dettach_disk in VM class.
Add a method named 'sync' to VMXML class.
Add test for svirt attach disk.
Pull requests still in review
Autotest
No open pull requests at this time
Virt Test
52 open pull requests, up from last week, meaning that we still need to
catch up with the large amount of work presented. Among some of the pull
requests, we have:
* Nice patchset from Chris bringing more SELinux helpers, that can
tell users what they can do to make SELinux happy and their tests
actually run
* New multi_disk_random_hotplug test by ldoktor
* File transfers using ipv6, by Yunping
* v2v testcases to convert from vmware vms, by Yu
* Updates to netperf by Yunpin
And of course, a whole lot more pull requests. We gotta be brave this
week, fellows, and make this queue smaller.
Autotest reporting work
No significant progress from last week
Grid maintenance
The latest virt-test release solved a number of RHEL5 issues, so I
updated the production server, and explained all the gory details of the
process to Ruda. A number of issues non related to virt-test or autotest
code happened at the very same day we decided to update the server, so I
wonder whether the universe likes when we upgrade stuff.
Jokes aside, here are some challenges going forward for us:
Reduce the complexity we face today to maintain the test configurations
Come up with better deployment/backup strategies
Make this all understandable for people with less extensive knowledge of
the autotest internals and details that want to run test grids.
Documentation, documentation, documentation
Libvirt updates
Chris has a medical appointment and most likely won't be here today for
the updates.
Questions Corner
TODO
lmr
Same from last week
Assist Ruda as he is getting acquainted with the rather busy schedule of
an autotest/virt-test maintainer.
Autotest UI work
Autotest web service work
cevich
Put TODO Wiki + issues
patch review
aexpect + unittest improvements
documentation
cleber
Autotest 0.15.1 RPM in Fedora
Push the spec file to next (which tracks next)
Move "software installer" from virt-test back to autotest, adding
unittests and docs
This is necessary for the component isolation work v2, because
installing say qemu from koji will already register that software
component in the test database
Coming along nicely, expect pull request by next week
jzupka
same as last week
review pull-requests
rebase my old pull-request
bugs rtc
rmoura
review pull-requests with lrmr's help
ldoktor
qemu_devices
PCI support for PCI switch/bridge/...
multi_disk_hotplug test - get it upstream (I beg for review :-D)
update virtio_console.interrupted_loopback test
unplug should work better on latest kernel
reviewing pull requests
fixing bugs
kvm-qe(BJ):
Keep on bugs fix and case development. And each of us will force on one
or two features in the following list:
ypu: whql cases
yunzheng: virtual network bugs fix
xutian: cdrom, storage vm migration
fyang: device assignment
qzhou: timer device will send patch as [email protected] in future.
