Just a heads up that the test-suite does not enjoy python-2.7...

Total            = 200 Pass             =  82 ( 41.00%) Expected Fail    =   6 (  3.00%) Unexpected Pass  =   2 (  1.00%) Fail             = 110 ( 55.00%)

Although, we do get two bug fixes for free!

If I'm diagnosing correctly, with python 2.6, the generated package files contain a ".PKGINFO" file, while python2.7 creates packages containing a file "./.PKGINFO" and libalpm complains saying the package is malformed.

Looking quickly at the code here, I'm a bit surprised how we do it. The behavior of os.walk() might have changed in what it is returning? Patches are more than welcome to fix this brokenness and maybe some other things: 1. Do we really need to gzip? 2. Why are we making real files first at all; couldn't we go completely in memory to create these test packages? -Dan
