Highlights
1 week and a metric ton of patches pushed to next after, we delivered
the promise and arrived to a more manageable patch queue, with currently
17 PRs, leaving us with some ideas to improve maintenance.
Virt Test continues to help us find new bugs, as Ruda struggled with an
unexpected F19 QEMU bug, and the virt test grids have been stable for a
while now. It is time for more tests.
Commits on next - autotest
Li Yang (1):
virt: Add utils.safe_rmdir() function to make sure a directory
can be removed
Nothing exciting here, as this is just a bugfix. What is exciting Ruda's
pull request introducing sphinx documentation support for autotest,
which we'll talk about later.
Commits on next - virt-test
Since Virt Test 2013.10.30 we had a whopping 270 commits, result of a
concentrated effort to clean the patch queue. The development branch is
going through QA, that will allow us to release Virt Test.
Updates: We found bugs in:
* The PCI Bridge and Switches work
* A new mysterious .qcow2 appended at the end of an ISO filename on
unattended install
'qemu-kvm: -drive
aio=native,file=/usr/local/autotest/tests/virt/shared/data/isos/linux/RHEL-6.4-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,media=cdrom:
could not open disk image
/usr/local/autotest/tests/virt/shared/data/isos/linux/RHEL-6.4-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2:
No such file or directory'
Those need to be urgently fixed.
Update: In within a couple of hours after the meeting, all the bugs
found were fixed and now another round of QA is going on. Thanks to
everybody that helped!
Meanwhile, trying to summarize what is new, we have:
* New type_specific test variants, and new way to determine variants
names, by jzupka
* Support for PCI Bridge and Switches, by ldoktor
* Support for host side dropin tests
* utils_test split work
* Fix long standing unattended install on libvirt bug
* More sr_iov testcases
* libvirt.tests: Add test cases for virsh nodedev-{create, destroy}
* libvirt.tests: Add virsh vcpucount test
* libguestfs.tests: Add testcases for guestmount command.
* libguestfs.tests: Add testcase for virt list functions
* New aexpect ShellSession .cmd_output_safe method
* virt-libguestfs: Add test for virt-sysprep command
Among others.

Pull requests still in review
Autotest
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/pull/760 - Autotest API
documentation. Still needs some review
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/pull/761 - Support for single
package upgrade on yum (software install). Needs some discussion on
whether to extend the patch to be used by the other package managers.
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/pull/762 -
autotest_remote: Fix BUG when control files require PEP 0263 encoding -
Looks good, it is going to be applied soon.
Virt Test
17 pull requests open! If we haven't had any new pull requests since
then, this would mean 56 PRs closed last week, but in fact, we had quite
a lot opened last week, so the estimation is that we closed over 65 PRs
combined. That is quite a good mark, but on the other hand, drained all
time available for the week.
https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pulls
https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pull/9
23 - Allow '=' in parameter string for HMP, introduced in pull request
https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pull/818.
Virt-test on Fedora 19 trigged a bug on Qemu on Fedora 19, when sandbox
is enabled (which is the default) then the started Qemu process hangs in
defunct state, so all tests fails, because they couldn't connect to the
Qemu monitor. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027421
Grid maintenance
Test grids fairly stable, no surprises lately, and the regression grid
continues being very helpful to catch up regressions. Hopefully later
today we'll be able to release virt-test with a good deal of the 270
patches on the development branch.
