Description
Test on all architectures and backends. Test with interactive mode.
QEMU's weird treatment of relative paths has reared its ugly head again and prevented qemu-img from running on anything older than 2.10/11 (because -u is missing). So I have decided to finally give in and just use absolute paths everywhere.
This is probably ready to be tested in staging now. I sent an e-mail to the OpenQA mailing list warning user's about the changes.
I have created a script which will add the necessary variables semi-automatically (I decided to sanity check the additions manually). However I may need to revert (or find some other solution) the update to the test cases which removes the ARM workaround when UEFI_PFLASH_VARS is present otherwise I can't run the script in advance, which seems like the best option considering the number of test cases which need updating.
Mudler's testing found a bug in QEMU which I have written a potential fix for: https://github.com/mudler/os-autoinst/pull/1
Merged into master.
