Control: merge 710148 710261 Control: tags -1 + confirmed This patch adds ca. 1kLOC of generic python code to the open-iscsi package for testing (testlib.py). The same code has been added to 3 other packages already just as a carbon-copy. I think it would be far better to add testlib.py to the autopkgtest package, to make it available for all kinds of packages. I've already asked the autopkgtest maintainers and have received positive feedback, so I'm going to take care of that and provide a patch against autopkgtest. After that is in the archive, I'm going to merge a modified version of this patch (some smaller improvements, using the testlib.py from autopkgtest) to add autopkgtest integration for open-iscsi.
Secondly, in order to test the initiator functionality proper, one needs an iSCSI target (and has to specify that manually for the test to work) - I'm currently at DebConf15 and have talked with Martin Pitt about that topic, and we are thinking about devising a scheme for autopkgtest to be able to provision multiple virtual machines for a single test, so one could be used as the iSCSI target while the first tests the initiator. (We are going to discuss this in detail later during the week.) That will be a much more long-term goal, just wanted to mention this here. I'm merging both bugs that were opened with the same contents. Christian
