Package: debci
Version: 1.0.1
X-Debbugs-CC: Dynamic Kernel Modules Support Team <pkg-dkms-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org>

The dkms package include a common autopkgtest derived from Ubuntu to
test any dkms enabled package.  As I understand it, in Ubuntu this is
used to automatically test all users of the dkms framework.  Could these
packages be automatically tested in Debian too?

<URL: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-dkms-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org >.
show all the dkms users I was aware of a few months ago.  From there it
is obvious that most of them are not tested by ci.debian.org.

Is there some code we can lift from Ubuntu to enable the dkms tests
automatically?  Where are the set of automatic tests defined?

I don't think so.

the fact that Ubuntu runs tests on KVM and we run on LXC makes all the
difference. I just tried a random DMKS package (openafs), and it fails trying
to do thins you usually cannot do in containers.

Setting up openafs-client (1.6.18.3-2) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/pagsh.openafs to provide /usr/bin/pagsh (pagsh) in auto mode
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.7.0-1-amd64/modules.dep.bin'

however making the package have their tests executed is trivial; what's
not trivial will be moving to KVM so that their tests have any chance of
working.

Do you have enough EC2 quota to run tests in (ephemeral) nova
instances? In Ubuntu we do that, i. e. I have a permanent "controller"
instance that has the cloud credentials and an autopkgtest checkout,
and worker instances [1] which take AMQP test requests and call autopkgtest with
the ssh runner and the "nova" setup script [2] -- i. e. the actual
test is being run in an ephemeral instance, with full
"isolation-machine"/KVM capabilities like mucking around with kernel
stuff.

I can talk you through this if you are interested.

Sure that's doable, as is moving to a simple "KVM on localhost"; it is
just a matter of doing the work.

All source packages (excluding a few RC buggy ones that are only in sid) 
in the archive that build a *-dkms package now have
  Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-dkms
s.t. we should get automatic module compilation tests whenever a new 
kernel package gets uploaded.
This will probably get tested for real once Linux 6.2 (or later) gets 
uploaded to sid.
