To be clear, are we talking qemu-system-X, qemu-user, or something
else entirely? Are you planning to do the tests in a full VM (eg. in
qemu-system-X)?
Thank you for the question. I think I am actually interested in both.
The scenario we use for current x86 dist-git tests is based on vms: we
spin up a full vm with qemu-kvm, ssh inside it, install a package and
run the test script.
Should it be possible to do the same with qemu-system-s390x? Maybe
even with nested virtualization, with s390x inside x86?
