in order to be able to run the test suite at buildtime we need to be able to run it as non root.
Which tests do you mean?
I am not aware of any test suite that would require root access. Currently tests invoked with make test fail, but that is a problem with the way they are run. It can be fixed (PR #179). This adds dependency on python-nose and python-nose-cov. Also python-mock is needed for the tests to succeed.
make test
python-nose
python-nose-cov
python-mock
In fact, I have set up a Jenkins instance to (hopefully) run the tests after every commit: http://jenkins.fedorainfracloud.org/job/pungi/
I was getting permission denied errors writing out test data
Are you still having problems with running the tests?
it is working now
