wasn't nexedi/slapos@b7fe8bba enough ?

[Nicolas Wavrant]

In my case I was just git-cloning the repo and running tests by hands, thus there was no socat in my PATH. If using the egg test suite to run tests, then this commit isn't useful. Still, I like to be able to just get the egg to fix code / test, and not having to wait for the setup of a software release to fix or develop simple things.

I see, thanks for explanation. I don't know this test so I cannot really say, of course if the test assert that the tunnel is functional, then a real socat is needed.
