Package: src:autopkgtest
Version: 4.3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch upstream

Hi there,

I wanted to work on an autopkgtest bug in the qemu runner on the train.
I've got a full mirror around which is available on my system. Currently
autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud doesn't support file:// for --mirror
though - the mirror isn't made available inside the VM.

Maybe I could already achieve this by manually passing qemu parameters,
but it's possible to support this OOTB. That's what the attached patch
does. It makes it so that "--mirror file://foo" is mounted as
/mirrors/ubuntu inside the VM.

When you run the actual tests ("-- qemu foo.img"), you also have to tell
the qemu runner where to find the mirror so that it can mount it. For
that I added a new "--localmirror" option. This isn't DRY as you've
already given that information when building the VM, but I don't know
how to avoid that. I hope it's acceptable.

Review / ideas for improvement appreciated!

Subject: [PATCH] autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Support mounting file:///
 mirrors inside the VM

Mount the mirror inside the VM as /mirrors/ubuntu. For this to be
automounted at startup, we need to load the '9pnet_virtio' module in the
initramfs.

There's a corresponding new --localmirror option to
autopkgtest-virt-qemu, which mounts the directory when the image is used
for testing. It would be nice to not have to specify the same thing
again since you already gave it to autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud, but
I don't know how to avoid this.
