Rebasing to a completely re-written test harness while in freeze feels on the risky side to me, despite the known problems we have with the existing release. > Reference: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/103.0/releases/lts/103_0.html > Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> > --- > pythondeps.toml | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/pythondeps.toml b/pythondeps.toml > index f6e590fdd8..175cf99241 100644 > --- a/pythondeps.toml > +++ b/pythondeps.toml > @@ -30,5 +30,5 @@ sphinx_rtd_theme = { accepted = ">=0.5", installed = "1.1.1" } > # Note that qemu.git/python/ is always implicitly installed. > # Prefer an LTS version when updating the accepted versions of > # avocado-framework, for example right now the limit is 92.x. > -avocado-framework = { accepted = "(>=88.1, <93.0)", installed = "88.1", canary = "avocado" } > +avocado-framework = { accepted = "(>=103.0, <104.0)", installed = "103.0", canary = "avocado" } > pycdlib = { accepted = ">=1.11.0" } > -- > 2.45.2 > > With regards, Daniel

Does that restore feature parity for macOS developers? Because this community has been left behind ignored for over 2 years and already looked at alternatives for functional testing. > Reference: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/103.0/releases/lts/103_0.html > Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> > --- > pythondeps.toml | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/pythondeps.toml b/pythondeps.toml > index f6e590fdd8..175cf99241 100644 > --- a/pythondeps.toml > +++ b/pythondeps.toml > @@ -30,5 +30,5 @@ sphinx_rtd_theme = { accepted = ">=0.5", installed = "1.1.1" } > # Note that qemu.git/python/ is always implicitly installed. > # Prefer an LTS version when updating the accepted versions of > # avocado-framework, for example right now the limit is 92.x. > -avocado-framework = { accepted = "(>=88.1, <93.0)", installed = "88.1", canary = "avocado" } > +avocado-framework = { accepted = "(>=103.0, <104.0)", installed = "103.0", canary = "avocado" } > pycdlib = { accepted = ">=1.11.0" }

The exact words on the release notes[1] are: "User of macOS will have a better experience when using Avocado. The full set of Avocado’s selftests are now run under macOS on CI. Please be advised that macOS is not currently supported at the same level of Linux-based operating systems due to the lack of contributors/maintainers with access to the needed hardware. If you are a user/developer and are willing to contribute to this, please let the Avocado team know." When it comes to the lack of updates, that is a longer discussion indeed. When it comes to alternatives, I don't expect the QEMU project to do anything else than what it's in its best interest. As late as this can be, please take it for what it's worth. If it does any good to QEMU, please consider it. Best, - Cleber.

This bumps Avocado to latest the LTS release. An LTS release is one that can receive bugfixes and guarantees stability for a much longer period and has incremental minor releases made. Even though the 103.0 LTS release is pretty a rewrite of Avocado when compared to 88.1, the behavior of all existing tests under tests/avocado has been extensively tested no regression in behavior was found.
