Query on Package rasdaemon Transition to Testing: QEMU vs. LXC
Hi there,
I have a question regarding the transition from Sid to Testing,
specifically on the feasibility of using qemu for debci, as opposed to
lxc.
Context:
I am maintaining "rasdaemon" and encountered Bug#1059484 during its
migration from Sid to Testing, as reported by elbrus.
I noticed in the debci error log for rasdaemon
(https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/r/rasdaemon/40156577/log.gz)
that the autopkgtest suite I designed functions properly in a qemu VM,
but not in an lxc container. This issue arises from the requirement to
mount debugfs for rasdaemon.
Despite reviewing several debci documents, I haven't found clear
guidance on whether using qemu is acceptable in such cases. My
references include:
https://wiki.debian.org/debci
https://wiki.debian.org/debci/DistributedSpec
https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/DebianSetup
Could someone with more expertise or relevant experience provide
advice on the best approach for rasdaemon in this context?
Happy New Year!
Tai
