Hey Antonio, I've just read the "developer news" and learned about http://ci.debian.net/. Way cool! I'm really looking forward to getting this stabilized and integrated into the PTS, britney, and email notifications. Like in Ubuntu this will probably meet some resistance at first, but after having done this for a while it's really hard to imagine how we ever got by without it :-)
Antonio Terceiro [2014-01-23 13:08 -0300]: > cool, thanks! I think we should absolutely work together and I will bug > you with bug reports and whatnot. :) Indeed. The first thing that comes to my mind is that we need something better in the DEP-8 control fields to describe what kind of machines or runners the test works with. Just yesterday I evaluated all our autopkgtests (in Ubuntu, but as we push them back to Debian as much as possible it shouldn't be totally different) in LXC [1], and there are some tests where schroot and even LXC just don't cut it, and a full VM is needed. Also, we soon want to move our other kinds of tests to use the autopkgtest machinery, then we'll need something like "this test needs to run on a machine with an NVidia card". I. e. some kind of tags that you can assign test execution environmens with and match them against the requirements in debian/tests/control. If you are interested in that, let's discuss on [2].
