The docstring says it uses a directory shared among all vms, although
that doesn't seem necessary for the functionality. However, it does need
to be consistent between the guest and host.
This changes the python test driver to match the behavior of the perl
test driver. I.e. the directory mounted into /tmp/shared should be the
same for all machines.
This probably fixes many tests, but I found this while investigating
failures in nixos/tests/ceph-multi-node.nix.
- setuptools includes *.exe files by default, but can be excluded with an ENV variable.
- setuptools was built as an egg, which had reproducibility problems. Instead use a wheel
These are various *.exe and *.xml files used only on windows. setuptools
includes them by default since it normally creates a single release for
all operating systems.
This reduces the size from 1020.0K to 801.6K according to `nix-path -sh`.
The egg is a zip file. setuptools leaves timestamps in the egg,
which makes the build unreproducible. Unfortunately the files aren't
compressed so the size of setuptools increases to 2.3M from 0.8M
according to `nix path-info -sh`.
With this change, setuptools is reproducible according to
nix-build -A python37Packages.setuptools --check
In particular, this allows setting CONFIG_CMDLINE to a value with
multiple space-seperated parameters. Other variables also take free-form
strings and might similarly benefit.
