@noelmcloughlin / @aboe76 - what are your thoughts here, is there a better way to approach keeping tests healthy across supported platforms?
@scub I think that moving testing to inspec, which is the successor of serverspec would be trivial and, perhaps, a better approach? It's fully supported by kitchen-test and we've been using it successfully in many formulas with no hassle.
It sems that
.kitchen.yaml
file,will do the trick?
I have no opinion either way. But I think Ubuntu-14 is EOL. So If you see opportunity to update list of targets that would be nice.
Removing EOL distributions from testing is a good thing, I don't have a opinion on serverspec vs inspec, but if inspec is the successor go for it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Ubuntu_14.04_LTS_(Trusty_Tahr):
Normal LTS support is set to continue until 30 April 2019, after which Extended Security Maintenance will be available to Ubuntu Advantage customers and as a separate commercial purchase, as was the case previously with 12.04.
Standard EOL is in 3 months time but may need to allow for Extended Security Maintenance.

Is there a policy about allowing for things like Extended Security Maintenance?
@scub merged it, @noelmcloughlin and @myii I don't think there is a policy....it's what we as a community make of it.
This hacky PR attempts to keep serverspec running natively for the distributions where
busser-serverspec
hasn't been lost entirely; ie: (from suite: ubuntu-14Currently the platforms this fixes tests for are:
More specifically the failure this addresses is:
