Subject: kvm sandbox upgrade tester

Hi,

I would like to ask for feedback/testing of the kvm "sandbox-upgrader"
package that is currently in my ppa at:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvo/ubuntu hardy main

It contains two scripts that need to be run with sudo:
- sandbox-clone-to-vm
- sandbox-test-upgrade

the "sandbox-clone-to-vm" will create a (slightly simplified) clone of
your system that you can then use kvm to boot into and do whatever you
want (e.g. testing a upgrade with the regular "update-manager -d"
GUI). It will not copy the content of your home dir (also it creates
it so that you can log in).

The sandbox-test-upgrade will perform the cloning in your current
working directory (so make sure you have enough room and be patient if
you have a big rootfs) and then run a non-interactive upgrade test and
copy the result.

For testing, you will need a kvm capable system (run "kvm" to see if
that works), bandwidth, patience (the cloning and the download of the
upgrade will take a bit) and some diskspace, it clones your full
system (excluding most of /home/). The UI is not that great currently
(the progress reporting etc are not really good yet) but the
functionatliy should be there. While it is running a vnc console will
be available at localhost:0 for further inspection.

It is still in development, so you should be careful with it and not
run it on your production server just yet. I'm interessted in getting
feedback how it works for you.

Thanks,
  Michael
