[ANN] kvm-test

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

I've finally gotten around to incorporating the feedback from KVM Forum 
into kvm-test.  I think it's ready for more people to use now.  kvm-test 
allows the user to record a KVM session and replay it.  This is useful 
for doing things like automated installation testing.

Ryan Harper is also developing an autotest harness to allow kvm-test to 
be run nightly.

Feedback is, as always, appreciated.

I know you're in love with vnc, but please consider switching to the 
qemu monitor's screen capture command?   That would make things simpler 
and require less dependencies.  I think the qemu monitor has commands to 
move the mouse as well.

While mercurial is easier to use than git, using git would make it 
easier for more kvm developers to contribute.

Anybody who manages to use git can figure out Mercurial in minutes.

It's not a question of the command set (I agree with you here), but how 
many SCMs you use daily.

That's an interesting thought.  I don't think you could realistically do 
video recording with the screen grabbing.  I'll think about it though.  
Headless would be a lot easier.

I don't care much about the long term revision control system.  I've 
never created a git repo before so it was just more natural to use hg.

Video is definitely out, but perhaps time-lapse photography?
