[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST 0/6] Fixes for switching to Jessie as base OS for test hosts

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

5 of these patches are fixes for issues which I noticed when trying to do
an adhoc xen-unstable flight with Jessie but which are safe to go in
whenever (i.e. they work with Wheezy too).

The 6th patch actually switches to Jessie which we will want to schedule a
bit more carefully. In particular this requires:

 * Switch to apt-cacher-ng on the cache host, since a bug in Jessie's apt
   apparently interacts badly with apt-cacher's handling of Ranges in http
   requests[0]. I've deployed apt-cacher-ng on an alternative port on the
   production cache and tested that it works with Jessie and Wheezy.
 * A firmware upgrade on the Arndale boards, since the new version of gcc
   seems to trigger an SoC errata when building the kernel.

The reason I care about upgrading to Jessie is that this adds the arm64
architecture which we hope to eventually have hardware for.

Roger, I will only CC you on the ts-install-freebsd script change.

Ian.
