Package: debci-worker
Version: 3.7
Severity: normal
3.7 added this nice feature where arguments can be passed to backends. However,
the --qemu-options parameter of the QEMU backend cannot be used with the
current implementation because its argument usually contains spaces, and these
get misinterpreted during expansion of "$@".
For example, given the following setting,
debci_autopkgtest_args_qemu"--ram-size 32768 --cpus 4 --qemu-options='--cpu
host'"
running a test will tmpfail with
autopkgtest-virt-qemu: error: unrecognized arguments: host'
because |--qemu-options='--cpu| and |host'| get interpreted as two words,
rather than one.
A POSIXly solution doesn't immediately jump to my mind, but I'd thought I'd
report it for now, just to track the issue.
I don't think the other backends are affected, they don't have similar
parameters.
Best,
Christian
