Require Buster or newer for running our test suite
Supporting running our test suite on Stretch, instead of ≥ Buster, blocks:
- #15450 (closed)
- #15831 (closed)
- #15330
- #17031 (closed)
- dropping some Stretch backwards compatibility code in our test suite
Additionally, this would allow me to stop maintaining a custom QEMU package for Stretch.
We need to:
-
Figure out, together with developers and sysadmins, what a suitable timeline could be → we can stop supporting Stretch, no earlier than 2020-11-17 -
Upgrade Jenkins isotesters (sysadmin#17731 (closed)) -
Update run_test_suiteto reflect this requirement -
Update contributors doc to reflect this requirement
