[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/6] Avocado: start multi-arch tests, add a Travis job

["Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <f4bug@amsat.org>]

Hi,

Another neanderthal approach to add multi-arch acceptance tests using
Avocado.

Since Cleber Rosa work got merged [0], I can restart my previous attempt [1]
at using Avocado in QEMU.
Cleber Rosa rewrote my previous v1 [1], in good python, now this v2 pushes
a bit further:
- we can now run other archs
- Avocado is integrated into Travis CI

I'm not sure Travis is the best CI available for those tests, but it runs
quite fast:

     (7/7) tests/acceptance/vnc.py:Vnc.test_vnc_change_password:  PASS (0.05 s)
    RESULTS    : PASS 7 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0
    JOB TIME   : 6.21 s

    Done. Your build exited with 0.

    Job ran for 5 min 34 sec

I couldn't add the Alpha tests because all the vmlinux kernels I found
online are gzipped, so I'm waiting some upstream Avocado merges before.

Cleber: I hope you can help me pythonizing this series :p

Regards,

Phil.
