[elbe-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/6] Elbe unit testing

[Olivier Dion]

This patch introduces Elbe to the Python unittest framework.  It
llows to run tests locally for developers.  This is part of the
ongoing Elbe-CI infrastructure.

* High level requirements [1/3]

  - [X] Use Python unittest framework to run the tests.

  - [ ] Make it possible to run tests against a local initvm.

  - [ ] Use COW Qemu's images, so that a base initvm can be shared
    between several testing containers.

* New command

  Run '$ elbe test [options]' from anywhere in the project.

* Example

  The test_version is used as an example.  The commit that introduces
  this test has a verbose log on how to create new tests and what
  conventions to follow.

* Some fixes

  A minor fix has been made in filesystem.py and the copy_filelist
  method in efilesystem.py has been rewritten from scratch.

New tests are welcome.  I will apply them to my branch.  Feedback is
also needed.
