Hello Lucas, Submitting the patch again using "git send-email", there was some issue with git config, its resolved now.Thanks for the link. I tried not to make any drastic change to the kvm-autotest infrastructure, run_autotest() accepts an additonal parameter, other then that rest of the patch does not make any major change to existing code. Pasting below the contents of my previous mail, for reference. Autotest part of the patch: This patch introduces a new parameter 'test_patch_file' in tests_config to indicate the patch file. Two new files are added related to patching autotest, 'autotest.patch' which is like base patch for autotest, needed to run autotest in windows and 'iozone.patch' which to used run iozone on windows. Similar patches could be developed for test cases like 'dacapo' and sysbench which would enable running tests related to java and mysql/postgresql, i will be happy to write patches for them too. Cygwin installtion part of the patch: This patch also adds two new files 'scripts/cyg_install.py' and 'tests/cyg_install'. 'scripts/cyg_install.py' is used to do unattended install on cygwin. The parameter 'cyg_path' indicates the path of the setup file. Installation can be done either local, using 'cyg_install.local' or remotly,using cyg_install.remote'. Local installation requires both the cygwin setup and packages files to be present locally at the path indicated by 'cyg_path'. The parameter 'cyg_param' is used to pass the command line options for cygwin setup. So it can contain options for packages to be installed, proxy server to be used to do remote installation and so on. An iso image cyg.iso containing the setup and packages in case of local install and just the setup in case of remote install, is created on the fly. Installation is started using telnet. This patch acts as complement to the existing support for running tests using Autoit.I will be happy to re-implement or modify the patch based to your comments and also write patch for other test cases like sysbench, dacapo.
