the systemd ptests are broken, but also badly incomplete:
* systemd v225 has ~130 separate test binaries (at least 116 of them non-manual).
* We install _one_ of the binaries and one python script

I'll see if it's possible to get better coverage. Just fixing what we now have does not seem worth the trouble.

If it's fundamentally broken and fixing isn't simple lets at least delete the broken support until it can be re-added properly.

I have a branch that gets us to this state:

      PASS: 108
      SKIP:   6
      FAIL:   2

This seems worthwhile as the tests look useful and not horribly slow. The failures are:

* test-acl-util:
fails because it tries to use ACLs on /tmp which at least with systemd is a tmpfs and does not support ACLs (maybe we don't enable the kernel option?)

* test-execute:
tries to check that "PrivateNetwork=yes" works by running this:
     i=$(ip link | grep ": " | grep -v ": lo:"); test -z "$i"
this fails because poky seems to have a sit-interface (a 6to4 tunnel) running nowadays and that is still there with PrivateNetwork=yes


I'll send a patch after sorting these out somehow.

Nice!

I've just filed bug 9269 for the ACL on tmpfs thing.

The sit0 interface I've never seen before.  Presumably this is systemd+connman, on what MACHINE?

Thanks.

It does not show up on ifconfig at all but:

This is core-image-sato on qemux86-64 with very few changes apart from setting systemd as init manager.

This should be now fixed, with two expected failures (see below). Testing requires systemd as init:
  DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
  VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"

    systemd: Fix and expand ptests
    
    systemd-ptest only runs a couple of tests currently.
    * Install all test binaries and required data files
    * Add missing runtime dependencies for -ptest
    * Fix paths required for on-target testing in do_configure_prepend()
    * cleanup do_install_ptest()
    
    For reference, results on current core-image-sato:
      PASS: 109
      SKIP:   5
      FAIL:   2
    
    test-execute failure:
    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2852
    
    test-acl-util failure:
    https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9269
    
    Fixes [YOCTO #8767].
