This patch series changes the way virtual machines for test builds are
managed. They are created locally on the developer machine now. The
installer is booted on the serial console and the scripts walks through
the dialogs to install and configure the guest.
That takes the download.patchew.org server out of the loop and makes it
alot easier to tweak the guest images (adding build dependencies for
example).
The install scripts take care to apply host proxy settings (from *_proxy
environment variables) to the guest, so any package downloads will be
routed through the proxy and can be cached that way. This also makes
them work behind strict firewalls.
There are also a bunch of smaller tweaks for tests/vm to fix issues I
was struggling with. See commit messages of individual patches for
details.
Known issue: NetBSD package install is not working for me right now.
It did work a while ago. Not sure what is going on here.
Do we have accelerator support for the BSDs? A "make check" for a full
build takes ages, and I suspect tcg being used is part of the problem.
I did my tests using "TARGET_LIST=x86_64-softmmu" because of that.
