OLha,
O pessoal do debian está desenvolvendo alguma coisa em UML para
controlar o desenvolvimento do prósprio debian, pelo que entendi. Estão
precisando de ajuda:U

I have the beginnings of a UML-based tool for this kind of testing. Since
it's a complete kernel+userland environment, this makes it possible to test
things like network daemons which are problematic in a chroot, especially if
the same daemon is running on the host.
rootstrap and umlrun are two functional components that I wrote as
prerequisites to this tool, both are in unstable. rootstrap builds a
complete Debian filesystem image in a file, and umlrun provides a way to
non-interacively boot a UML system, run a sequence of shell commands inside
it (collecting the output), then shut it down.
If someone else has an interest in developing something like this, I'd like
to hear from them, as I have too many projects already.
