(It occurs to me that it would be a good idea to have some automated testing of booting the daily snapshots under qemu. Do we have any infrastructure to make that easy?)
I've been thinking the same thing, and it sounds like a job for hudson! :-) let's discuss how we can do that, but I suspect we should start with a daily build of qemu which would kick a daily test of the rootfs.
I had been thinking about this as well, would you see more benefit for this to focus on testing the latest image, or qemu itself?
I think the image (and the kernel) are going to churn at a much faster rate than qemu will, so the benefit really is in early warning if the kernel has suddenly tickled a latent qemu bug/missing bit of model. (ie I think we'd want to do this test with the latest released qemu-maemo package as well as with any new daily build of qemu.)
To overdo things, it would be nice to mix the compiler in as well. I've been planning to add a test case to the compiler build that builds the current Ubuntu kernel and boots it inside QEMU.
