base-installer regression test interface
========================================

This test suite attempts to test base-installer's per-architecture kernel
selection, using a few shims. Run it using 'make test' in the
base-installer/kernel/ directory or './runtests <architecture>' in the
base-installer/kernel/tests/ directory.

Individual tests consist of a .test file in the appropriate per-architecture
subdirectory, plus optionally some auxiliary files. The .test file consists
of a series of directives, one per line. All lists are space-separated, and
all kernel versions are the names of kernel packages. The available
directives are as follows:

  subarch <subarchitecture>
    The subarchitecture, if relevant: e.g. powermac_newworld.

  cpuinfo <cpuinfo file>
    Path (relative to the .test file) to a file to be used instead of
    /proc/cpuinfo while running this test. If not specified, $CPUINFO will
    be unset.

  numcpus <number of processors>
    The number of processors in the machine to emulate for the test.
    Only needed on arches that expect a /var/numcpus file and don't have
    the info in /proc/cpuinfo.

  machine <machine hardware name>
    The machine hardware name, as returned by 'uname -m'.

  majors <kernel major versions>
    The kernel major versions to test: e.g. 2.6.

  flavour <arch_get_kernel_flavour output>
    The expected kernel flavour for this machine.

  kernel-2.6 <kernel version>
    The "best" 2.6 kernel versions for this machine, as expected to be
    returned by arch_get_kernel.

  usable <kernel versions>
    A list of kernel versions that are expected to be usable on this
    machine.

  unusable <kernel versions>
    A list of kernel versions that are expected to be unusable on this
    machine.

  env <name> <value>
    Any environment variable you want to set.

Please add to the test suite as appropriate.
