    slapos-testing: rework to use buildout to install eggs and dependencies · f4b6eeda

    Instead of letting `python setup.py test` install the depencies, use
    buildout way of installing the eggs.
    
    This software use `interpreter` recipe of `zc.recipe.egg` to install a
    python with all eggs pre-installed. This is a way to get all the
    dependencies.
    `erp5.util.testsuite` has been extended to support a parameter to
    specify which python to use.
    
    This cause chicken and egg problem because cloning repository containing
    `slapos.recipe.cmmi` needs git, and to compiling git needs
    `slapos.recipe.cmmi`. The consequence of this is that re-running software
    will install too many parts again. One solution for this would be to
    clone `slapos.recipe.cmmi` with a `git` command provided by testnode or
    system package. For now this is open issue. Another solution would be to
    not install `slapos.recipe.cmmi` develop egg, simply install the egg
    from it's current pypi version while installing the software (running
    tests will be from the git checkout anyway).
    
    Another point of attention is that `python setup.py test` install the
    requirements listed in `test_requires`, but `zc.recipe.egg` does not
    provide a way of installing these. Some of our packages have `[test]`
    entrypoints, in this case, the software installs the test entrypoints.
    For others, we install the eggs.
    
    Other improvements:
     * use a simple `slapos.recipe:wrapper` instead of `slapos.cookbook:egg_test`
     * fix the typo in repository name erp5-util-repository ->
       erp5.util-repository ( this mean we will have to fix the test suites in
       nexedi ERP5 )
     * document "what is this software" and a scenario of how this software
       can be used to develop slapos eggs.
     * switch to buildout-hash.cfg for easier template hash management.
