From what I know, not many.  I believe it is used in some CI
_somewhere_... by _someone_.

And many of them are broken by design.  I remember fixing one just out
of sheer curiosity and it was hard not to go down the rabbit hole and
get stuck in there.

Good luck with that, it looks like the code haven't gotten a good scrub
in years.  Are you planning to use it somewhere?  Will there be anything
left after cleanups? =)

Actually we always use this project in our team. But the code hasn't synchronized
to upstream for a long time. We have 3 guys working on this project now. And we
Plan to synchronize our code with upstream recently.

One suggestion could be too have a look at avocado-vt (what used to be
autotest's virt-test) for that is being still actively developed.
Although I have no idea what's your intention, so I might be just
generating noise, in which case I apologise.

Yes, we also have the thought of integrating this project with avocado-vt. It will
require much work to do. We will take this as our second step.


It shouldn't be that hard, though.  I haven't had any one of them set up
in a while, but if I'll find some time somewhere I'll try to look into
that.  The integration with avocado-vt is the only benefit I could've
thought of.  It would be great if we could expand the testing by fixing
that test suite and integrating it into existing CI.

Thanks a lot.


Have a nice day,
Martin
