Welcome Henning,
Regarding the pinning, Anton has already mentioned that we are analyzing the
issue. The plan is to update to the latest stable version regularly. We still
want pinning to avoid surprises, just like with bitbake and wic.
Regarding pip, it isn't our choice :) . Debian packaging is available from
http://deb.isar-build.org/. We have submitted Debian Policy updates to Avocado
and are in contact with Debian developers regarding inclusion in upstream
Debian.
Regarding Avocado itself, we had discussed that in [1]. Pytest is good for unit
testing; Avocado is more suitable for our scenarios. E.g., RedHat uses it for
Fedora. Also, people want to migrate to Avocado citing flexibility limitations
with pytest.
All in all, I think Avocado is a good choice and is worth the hassle of
upstreaming into Debian.
