Why couldn't we use the most backwards-compatible packaging all across the board instead of having two? debian/changelog > I don't care enough, but the current oneiric/precise packages seem to have some bits from the older packaging; I'd preferred if this was clear from the changelog, e.g. with a changelog entry that this or that part of the packaging had been rewritten, dropping the testuite. Anyway, not a big deal. -- Loïc Minier -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of linaro- infrastructure-drivers, which is the registrant for Linaro Image Tools. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888555 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?)
