I've posted an alternate series that removes the avocado dependency by importing the gdb py code it relied upon. This avoids the changes to the way the tests must be run which I don't think are a desirable approach for the functional tests https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-09/msg02499.html With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
