I have filed some patches for LAVA to add the support to run tests from tar/url, and it works well in my testing lab（not yet submitted）. 
With the Target Packages feature in Fuego, we have more possibilities for Fuego and LAVA integration.

About tests from tar/url in LAVA, I will submit a merge request there later and hope it can be merged successfully.

Best regards
