Hi again,
I realized I wasn't quite right when I said that qrap problems where
what was currently stopping me running the passt (not pasta) tests. I
did hit qrap issues somewhere, but the current stumbling block is that
mbuto looks for udhcpc to put into the guest image, which I can't
easily put onto my host system.
Now, in the short term, once my patch to remove usage of udhcpc from
the passt/pasta tests is applied, we could just remove udhcpc from the
mbuto profile as well. However, that raises a wider scope issue:
The passt testing profile for mbuto appliances is in the mbuto tree,
not the passt tree. That doesn't realy make sense, since it means any
change to what we need for the passt tests requires a synchronized
change with mbuto. Particularly for a pretty young and project like
passt, that's not really tenable. Plus, slurping an external tool
from some random URL in the tests is just kinda ugly.
Hmm, yes, in my ideal world mbuto would be already widely distributed
and we could drop the git clone. On the other hand, that's still one
long-term goal of mine, so:
I'm not immediately sure how best to to
address this:
* We could make mbuto take the profiles as some sort of external
file, so they can be provided by the user, rather than built into
the mbuto repository.
...I would prefer this option. Even though if you look at mbuto's git
Yeah, I think it looks the best option to me as well, though not
necessarily the quickest to implement.
