Can it provide multiple versions of Ubuntu, clean each time? If so,
yep, sounds the same. I have always gone with VirtualBox because it
seemed like less hassle!

Title:
Set up l-i-t testing on multiple archs and releases
Status in Linaro Image Tools:
New
Bug description:
We need to test l-i-t on all supported releases and architectures. We
have seen a number of cases where new features are later found to not
work on old releases or older versions of Python. We just had a
problem with linaro-hwpack create not working on Oneiric 64 bit, but
happily work on 32 bit.
For testing new code and especially for release testing we would need
to set something up to enable this since a single developer won't have
access to all variants of installations.
We could perhaps automate something to set up virtual machines on
local dev PC:s with possible impact on TDD since tests would take many
times longer to run. Perhaps we can use LAVA?
For full coverage we'd need to test on all possible combinations of
the below components (please add to them as you see fit), but that is
probably overkill.
Python:
2.6
2.7
Ubuntu:
Precise
Oneiric
Natty
Maverick
(how far back do we want to ensure support?)
Archs:
i386
x86_64
