charset="utf-8" The avocado-system-alpine, avocado-system-fedora, and avocado-system-ubuntu jobs are unreliable. I identified them while looking over CI failures from the past week: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/5058610614 https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/5058610654 https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/5030428571 Thomas Huth suggest on IRC today that there may be a legitimate failure in there: th_huth: f4bug, yes, seems like it does not start at all correctly on alpine anymore ... and it's broken since ~ 2 weeks already, so if nobody noticed this by now, this is worrying It crept in because the jobs were already unreliable. I don't know how to interpret the job output, so all I can do is to propose removing these jobs. A useful CI job has two outcomes: pass or fail. Timeouts and other in-between states are not useful because they require constant triaging by someone who understands the details of the tests and they can occur when run against pull requests that have nothing to do with the area covered by the test. Hopefully test owners will be able to identify the root causes and solve them so that these jobs can stay. In their current state the jobs are not useful since I cannot cannot tell whether job failures are real or just intermittent when merging qemu.git pull requests. If you are a test owner, please take a look. It is likely that other avocado-system-* CI jobs have similar failures from time to time, but I'll leave them as long as they are passing.
