** Summary changed: - 'dieharder' autopkgtest is a pointless multi-hour test + 'dieharder' autopkgtest takes too long
** Description changed: [impact] the 'dieharder' test eats entropy from haveged for hours, and hours, and hours. On armhf it takes over 12 hours and fails the test because it - times out. There is no point to running this test to verify haveged is - able to provide entropy. + times out. [test case] run haveged autopkgtest, especially on armhf, e.g.: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-groovy/groovy/armhf/h/haveged/20200901_232740_e112e@/log.gz [regression potential] this change just runs the haveged build tests, so any regression would likely involve incorrectly failed (or passed) autopkgtest. [scope] this is needed on b/f/g; there are no autopkgtests for haveged on x. I don't think debian has the same test hardware, so they likely only test on arm64, which takes a few hours, but passes, so this is only required in debian to reduce ubuntu delta. However the 'dieharder' test is just as pointless on debian. ** Description changed: [impact] the 'dieharder' test eats entropy from haveged for hours, and hours, and hours.
