Hi, Another neanderthal approach to add multi-arch acceptance tests using Avocado.
Since Cleber Rosa work got merged [0], I can restart my previous attempt [1] at using Avocado in QEMU. Cleber Rosa rewrote my previous v1 [1], in good python, now this v2 pushes a bit further: - we can now run other archs - Avocado is integrated into Travis CI I'm not sure Travis is the best CI available for those tests, but it runs quite fast: ...

Your build exited with 0. Job ran for 5 min 34 sec I couldn't add the Alpha tests because all the vmlinux kernels I found online are gzipped, so I'm waiting some upstream Avocado merges before. Cleber: I hope you can help me pythonizing this series :p Regards, Phil.
