In July I worked on the samba testing framework, which can now provision
bootable Debian VMs effortlessy, and also Windows VMs with the correct guest
agents. I have also packaged rhsrvany [0] in the process.
The provisioning part of the test framework will also be useful for other
functional tests that involve multiple VMs (and possibly different OSes)
interacting with each other, as this currently can't be easily achieved in
autopkgtest.
Thanks to the sponsors for financing this work, and to Freexian for
coordinating!
