So it can work, it's just "slightly" broken somewhere at the moment? If
that's so, could somebody who understands this stuff have a look?
There's two points to this: Originally, the installation against which
the tests run had been produced in a two-step process. First, building
instsetoo_native always produced a tgz (or zip, on Windows) archive
installation set in addition to what else it was requested to build
(rpm, deb, etc.). Second, depending on platform: On non-Windows,
building smoketestoo_native unpacked the archive installation set to
solver/*/installation once, so that all tests could use it from there.
On Windows, running each individual test unpacked the archive
installation set into a temp directory (and removed it afterwards).
Today, this has been changed completely, with the installation set being
built and put into place in one step through ooinstall. So for Windows
to work again, first ooinstall needs to be fixed to work on Windows (my
understanding is that it does not). Second, as long as long pathnames
on Windows are still an issue (and my understanding is that they are, at
least for our interaction with the berkeleydb library), it would be
advantageous to mimic the original logic, like running ooinstall not
once but for each test, instructing it to output into a temp directory.
