Re: Query on Package rasdaemon Transition to Testing: QEMU vs. LXC



Hi Taihsiang,

Despite reviewing several debci documents, I haven't found clear
guidance on whether using qemu is acceptable in such cases. My

     https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/DebianSetup

The canonical information source is the autopkgtest spec: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst

"""
isolation-machine

The test wants to interact with the kernel, reboot the machine, or other things which fail in a simple schroot and even a container. Those tests need to be run in their own machine/VM (e. g. autopkgtest-virt-qemu or autopkgtest-virt-null). When running the test in a virtualization server which does not provide this it will be skipped.

Could someone with more expertise or relevant experience provide
advice on the best approach for rasdaemon in this context?

My advice is, add an isolation-machine restriction.
