Until now, autopkgtests were triggered via an external "adt-britney" command
from lp:auto-package-testing. This duplicated a lot of effort (such as its own
chdist and reverse dependency calculation), maintains a lot of state files,
uses hardcoded absolute paths to these external tools, and is quite hard to
understand and maintain. We want to get rid of all this.
Add logic to AutoPackageTest.request() to use britney's existing reverse
dependency maps and figure out the set of tests to run for packages in
unstable. These are being tracked in "requested_tests".
Add logic to AutoPackageTest.submit() to send test requests to the AMQP server
specified in the new "ADT_AMQP" config key. For testing this can be a file://
URL, and if not set no test requests will be sent at all.
The set of tests which were requested in previous runs are tracked in
UNSTABLE/autopkgtest/pending.txt, so that we don't re-request tests in
subsequent runs.
There is no implementation for collect() and results() yet, these will be done
in a separate commit.
Add initial test cases.
