Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.15
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
There is no standard Debian kernel package for armel architecture,
as the armel hardwares are too diverse.
Maybe because of that, autopkgtest-build-qemu does not support armel.
A bootable armel QEMU testbed can be created by
1. adding armhf as the secondary architecture by dpkg --add-architecture
2. use linux-image-armmp-lpae:armhf or linux-image-armmp:armhf as the kernel.
A suggested patch to autopkgtest-build-qemu for armel support is
attached. As UEFI booting is indispensable with ARM architectures,
such changes are also included in the patch.
Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
