Source: autopkgtest Version: 5.22 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: Paride Legovini <par...@ubuntu.com>, Iain Lane <iain.l...@canonical.com>, Mathias Gibbens <math...@calenhad.com>
autopkgtest's test suite currently tries to test lxd by downloading and running an Ubuntu 16.04 'xenial' image, but this is currently Ubuntu oldoldoldLTS and is more than 6 years old. I don't use lxd myself, and it isn't currently available in Debian, only on Ubuntu (or as a Snap app, but Snap apps seem like they ought to be out-of-scope for autopkgtest), so I don't routinely test with lxd and it isn't tested on Gitlab-CI. If/when lxd gets through the NEW queue into Debian, it might be possible to enable it on Gitlab-CI. Please could someone with a working lxd installation update this test to the current state of the world, verify that it still passes, and send a merge request? I would prefer it to be using either Debian testing, the latest Debian stable at the time of preparing the MR (currently bullseye), or the latest Ubuntu LTS at the time of preparing the MR (currently jammy) as its target distro. My personal preference would be testing > bullseye > jammy, but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise. smcv
