A bunch of tests currently attempt to kickstart a full Fedora OS image install. Everytime I try to update this kickstart to a new version of Fedora it causes no end of pain. Switch the tests over to use Richard Jones' virt-builder command which is part of libguestfs. This makes it trivial to deploy and customize full OS images from pre-built templates.
Mike - does Suse include a new enough version of libguestfs to get access to the 'virt-builder' tool yet ?
Just as a data point: I'm running on Debian Wheezy via Jenkins on a regular basis (i.e. on libvirt commit). Wheezy has 1.18.1 which isn't recent enough. I also ran into kickstart hazzles several times but keeping the entry barrier low to use libvirt-tck might be more important.
I'm also running this through Jenkins on libvirt commits. I'm currently running against SLES11 SP3, SLES12 (beta), and openSUSE 13.1. In the case of SLES11, I don't have guestfs at all, so this change will be a problem there. On the other hand, the move to virt-builder is likely worth it.
In my case, I will likely just create a local fork of libvirt-tck before this commit that I use specifically for SLES11 testing. Another option is to continue to use pre-built images (although I'd have to hide the libguestfs requirement).
libguestfs exists on SUSE. Olaf Hering is packaging it. Not sure about SLES, but I was under the impression it was packaged for at least some version of SLES.
