linaro-image-tools are designed to run on different development hosts.
As an ugly hack, we could perhaps introduce full test suite runs inside
the package build to leverage the pre-existing Launchpad automated build
services. If a package fails to build on a particular Ubuntu
release/arch, we'd see the problem. That'd be quick and dirty, but
would, at the same time, be abusing package building process (imho, at
least).
Ideally though, we'd be able to run full testsuite on all of our
supported hosts either pre- or post-commit to lp:linaro-image-tools
(hey, nothing beats finding problems early). We have a gazillion of
build services, but none of them is exactly what we need here.
A useful point to bring up in the discussion on consolidating build
services tonight.

Title:
Set up l-i-t testing on multiple archs and releases
Status in Linaro Image Tools:
Triaged
Bug description:
We need to test l-i-t on all supported releases and architectures. We
have seen a number of cases where new features are later found to not
work on old releases or older versions of Python. We just had a
problem with linaro-hwpack create not working on Oneiric 64 bit, but
happily work on 32 bit.
For testing new code and especially for release testing we would need
to set something up to enable this since a single developer won't have
access to all variants of installations.
We could perhaps automate something to set up virtual machines on
local dev PC:s with possible impact on TDD since tests would take many
times longer to run. Perhaps we can use LAVA?
For full coverage we'd need to test on all possible combinations of
the below components (please add to them as you see fit), but that is
probably overkill.
Python:
2.6
2.7
Ubuntu:
Precise
Oneiric
Natty
Maverick
(how far back do we want to ensure support?)
Archs:
i386
x86_64
