  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * tests/autopkgtest: Fix test failure if the user has per-user
    containers in ~/.local/share for both lxc and the podman ecosystem

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Improve reliability of waiting for lxc, lxd, podman containers to
    boot an init system (Closes: #1017753)
  * On non-amd64 architectures, skip a test that assumes i386 can be a
    foreign architecture
  * Clarify documentation for Restrictions:
    - isolation-container implies a service manager (init system) such as
      systemd or sysv-rc
    - isolation-container does not guarantee logind
    - isolation-machine provides the same things as isolation-container
    - needs-root is at least root in a container, but not always global root
    Thanks: Paride Legovini

autopkgtest (5.23) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Iñaki Malerba, Chris Kuehl, Felipe Sateler, Simon McVittie ]
  * Add support for docker.io virtualization (Closes: #747909)

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * virt-docker, build-docker: Allow running as virt-podman, build-podman
  * virt-podman, build-podman: Add --init option.
    Docker is designed to be used for "app containers", which are like a
    better-isolated chroot. Podman can be used like this, but can also be
    used to run traditional full-system containers in the same way as lxc
    and lxd, and in particular it has special support for running systemd
    as the container's init system.
    When we're running a service manager like systemd, sysv-rc or openrc,
    we can provide the isolation-container capability.
  * autopkgtest: Make --test-name repeatable (Closes: #1015921)
  * build-podman, build-qemu: Optionally swap or force the init system:
    systemd (+ logind), sysv-rc (+ elogind) or openrc (+ elogind).
    For qemu, the default is what debootstrap provides, usually systemd.
    For podman, the default is no init system at all.
  * Automatically create an unprivileged user to run tests if the testbed
    is expendable.
    This avoids needing to create an unprivileged user when building
    container and VM images, which build-lxc and build-podman don't do.
    (Closes: #1011202)
  * Load setup commands from the source tree if running uninstalled
  * Don't recurse or crash if auxverb_debug_fail fails
  * virt-lxc, virt-lxd: Factor out code to wait for container to boot.
    virt-lxc, virt-lxd and podman --init all want to do the same thing.
  * virt-unshare: Factor out unshare-helper into a shell script
  * Improve setup-testbed script:
    - Stop installing gpg.
      We've been installing this since 2018, but it seems we haven't needed
      it since we switched from apt-key to [trusted=yes] in 2015.
    - Only install dbus, rng-tools if we have an init system
    - Only install libpam-systemd if systemd is installed
    - Only set up ifupdown if it's installed
    - If we overwrite sources.list, also empty sources.list.d
    - Don't crash if unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
    - Have a separate proxy setting for setup-testbed itself
    - Don't use /usr/share/doc to check package status
    - Silence a new shellcheck warning
  * Add a test that asserts tests can access pseudo-terminals
  * Run more tests on Gitlab-CI and from autopkgtest:
    - autopkgtest-virt-docker (can run via docker:dind or in qemu)
    - autopkgtest-virt-lxc (can run under privileged Docker or qemu)
    - autopkgtest-virt-podman (can run under privileged Docker or in qemu)
    - autopkgtest-virt-podman --init (can run in qemu)
    - autopkgtest-virt-schroot (can run under privileged Docker, lxc or qemu)
  * Test fixes, particularly for running tests that require privileges:
    - Fix ChrootRunner failure with glibc 2.34
    - Make dependencies more complete
    - Skip test_apt_autodep8_with_control if autodep8 not installed
    - Speed up test_git_source_build
    - Update for perl autodep8 behaviour changes in bullseye
    - Test the installed autopkgtest runner so autopkgtest doesn't break
      its own specification
    - Don't run lint-style tests as an autopkgtest, notably pyflakes
    - Accept more variations of apt output
    - Fix build of mock test package if a second binary is added
    - Cope with schroot not always having AUTOPKGTEST_NORMAL_USER
    - Make test failures easier to debug
    - Tolerate output before first explicit setup command
    - Cope with XDG basedirs environment variables being set
    - Speed up testing source package from apt by using a simpler package
      (src:tap.py rather than src:gdk-pixbuf)
    - Speed up testing schroot backend by repeating fewer tests
    - Speed up testing schroot backend by using /var/lib/schroot/unpack
      (schroot users should mount a fast filesystem in that location,
      ideally a tmpfs if they have enough RAM available)
    - Speed up testing schroot backend by using an uncompressed tarball
    - Ignore absence of /dev/pts while testing the virt-chroot backend
    - Make Podman containers available in mock home directory
    - Never completely clear the environment
    - Make the test apt archive readable by everyone, fixing failures with
      some virtualization backends
    - Install libpam-elogind instead of libpam-systemd in VMs and system
      containers that boot with a non-systemd init
  * Documentation:
    - d/README.source: Refer to latest Debian stable and Ubuntu LTS
    - d/README.source: Don't recommend manual setup for lxc networking,
      no longer needed
    - d/README.source: Describe how to run unit tests
    - Fix name of build-needed restriction in man page
  * Clean up dead code:
    - Remove support for click and Ubuntu Mobile.
      These technologies are no longer maintained, and none of the
      autopkgtest maintainers test autopkgtest's support for them, so
      it's very likely that this doesn't actually work anyway.
      (Closes: #1011207)
    - Remove internal support for obsolete actions from the pre-2017
      adt-run CLI

  [ Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * Use 32-bit OVMF EFI firmware for qemu-system-i386 (Closes: #973522)
  * qemu: Explicitly assign unit numbers for pflash devices

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * lxd: Fix a race condition while rebooting
  * buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Update for compatibility with other changes
    mentioned below
  * ssh-setup/nova: Quote arguments to `tr`

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * VirtSubproc: Allow expecting multiple options
  * virt-qemu: Cope with passwordless shell (blank password)
  * virt-qemu: Don't rely on exiting from a shell printing "logout"
  * virt-qemu: Preseed debconf questions so we can upgrade grub-pc, if
    installed (Closes: #982296)
  * virt-qemu: Add --qemu-architecture, --dpkg-architecture options
  * virt-qemu: Load virtio_console in initramfs to make sure it's ready
    when systemd-getty-generator(8) looks for it (workaround for #689962)
  * virt-qemu: Improve reliability of interactions with serial console shell
  * build-qemu: Automatically run under fakemachine if not uid 0
  * build-qemu: Convert image into an absolute path.
    This helps when we're sharing directories as "volumes" with fakemachine.
    The working directory inside fakemachine isn't necessarily the same as
    the working directory outside, leading to the output image being
    written somewhere unintended.
  * build-qemu: Show the log from vmdb2 if it fails
  * build-qemu: Placate pycodestyle
  * build-qemu: Never set http_proxy to DIRECT.
    The special keyword DIRECT is understood by apt, but not by generic
    http clients, and in particular not understood by wget (used by
    debootstrap).
  * Use `command -v` in preference to `which`.
    In Debian, which(1) is provided by the Essential debianutils package,
    which recently deprecated it. Silence the resulting warnings by doing
    this in a slightly less obvious way.

  [ Simon McVittie, Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * setup-testbed: Try to put Linux console on both ttyS0 and hvc0.
    ttyS0 is PC-specific, hvc0 is a generic hypervisor console available
    on multiple hypervisors.
  * setup-testbed: Put root shells on both ttyS1 and hvc1 if they exist.
    ttyS1 is PC-specific, hvc1 is a generic hypervisor console available
    on multiple hypervisors.
  * virt-qemu: Only -enable-kvm if VM is compatible with host architecture
  * virt-qemu: Add --boot=efi (formerly --efi)
  * build-qemu: Add --boot=efi to build images bootable with EFI.
    This requires vmdb2 0.22-1~ or newer.
  * qemu: armhf and aarch64 support (Closes: #973038, #973663)
    - Boot with EFI by default
    - Build images with EFI by default (Closes: #990415)
    - Use ttyAMA0 as the ARM equivalent of ttyS0
    - Default to -machine virt, since there is no default in qemu
    - Default to qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu host,aarch64=off -enable-kvm
      for armhf on aarch64 host, because qemu-system-arm -enable-kvm is
      not available on aarch64 hosts
    - Default to -cpu host -enable-kvm for aarch64 on aarch64 host
    - Default to -cpu cortex-a53 for aarch64 on non-aarch64 host
      since that CPU seems to work well
    Thanks to Christian Kastner, Peter Maydell and Steve McIntyre.

  [ Simon McVittie, Thierry Fauck, Ryutaroh Matsumoto ]
  * qemu: ppc64el support (Closes: #926945)
    - Install grub-ieee1275 by default
    - Avoid trying to allocate hvc0 as a virtio console.
      The default serial port of a pSeries machine appears as /dev/hvc0,
      and the virtio consoles start from hvc1.
    Thanks to Christian Kastner

  [ Christian Kastner ]
  * qemu: Use -machine q35 on i386 or amd64 when booting with EFI.
    Empirically, it seems to be the minimum required for EFI-booting on
    i386; bump the machine on amd64 too, for consistency.
