[10:00] <xnox> jodh: there is a typo in the failed case.
[10:00] <xnox> jodh: the filename will not be defined :P
[10:02] <jodh> xnox: need a few more bytes of context - we're talking about lp:~xnox/upstart/fix-qemu-test presumably?
[10:02] <xnox> jodh: yes, mere re-reproposal is on the way.

[10:04] <jodh> xnox: ah! I'd missed that. Could you also therefore wrap the unlink in assert0() like: 'assert0 (unlink (filename))'
[10:05] <xnox> jodh: no, since it may not exist.
[10:05] <xnox> cause it's in the maybe-failed code path.
[10:08] <jodh> xnox: gah - agreed :)
[10:09] <jodh> xnox: btw - I raised bug 1085836 just now. It would be great to have this facility for Raring, particularly for the DEP-8 tests. We can discuss with stgraber later.
[10:13] <xnox> jodh: interesting. /me ponders if we can re-exec ourselfs under sudo for a test wrapped in NEEDS_ROOT
[14:09] <stgraber> xnox, jodh: one option would be to have a separate "root-check" target or similar which requires root permissions, those wouldn't be called at build time but could be called under sudo on the autopackagetest machine
[14:28] <jodh> stgraber: right.
