Introduce BEAKER_HYPERVISOR

[ekohl]

Beaker already knows how to generate hosts on the fly using beaker-hostgenrator. The problem is that there's no way to choose the default hypervisor. This means you always specify the long form. Using an environment variable we can simplify configs.

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

once the line comment has been fixed up as well as these contributor items, then I'm down with getting through through our automation & merged. Thanks!

• pre-pend the commit with the (MAINT) string
• add a line about this in the Changelog

last comment still current

[ekohl]

I've revisited the README and expanded it into its own section with a few more examples. Also addressed the other comments.

I still do wonder if this shouldn't be part of beaker-hostgenerator to use an environment variable instead of a command line option.

[ekohl]

How about this?

[kevpl]

everything here except my small note looks good, 👍 . Once that's updated, we can move this through to merging & release.

[ekohl]

Is there a beaker release planned so I can use it in my CI configs?

[kevpl]

@ekohl the next release is listed in the wiki page. Apologies that it was out-of-date due to a skipped release, but it's current now. Thanks for the ping on it!

Thanks!
