Some failing tests on Debian stable (wheezy)

[yarikoptic]

Finally I have built (with buildtime testing)/uploaded both gitdb and GitPython to Debian and backports to NEuroDebian -- hoorrayy -- thanks. But while building on Debian wheezy few tests still failing. I will send you 2 PRs of changes I have done to be able to run

    : # run tests only if we can fetch original sources repository
    -mkdir -p build/test; cd build/test; \
         git config --global http.sslVerify false; git config --global user.name "TESTING"; git config --global user.email "TESTING@example.com"; \
         git clone git://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython; \
         cd GitPython; git submodule update --init --recursive; \
          for i in `seq 4`; do git reset --hard HEAD~1; done; git reset --hard origin/master; touch ../go
    [ ! -e build/test/go ] || \
     GIT_PYTHON_TEST_GIT_REPO_BASE=$(CURDIR)/build/test/GitPython \
     nosetests -s -v git/test

1. This one you reported before also on Centos 6.5 (git 1.7.1, python 2.6.6)

btw git 1.7.10.4-1 and python 2.7.3

Now that the PRs have been merged, does that mean this issue is fixed as well ? For some reason, I do hope so ;) !

You can watch the archived live-development stream on youtube.

[yarikoptic]

My PRs dealt with none of these failures on wheezy, so I guess they still persist. I will check in a second

[Byron]

1. What's your schedule for getting these fixed ? I'd do it until until Sunday otherwise.
2. Is the script you pasted above all I'd need to reproduce these issues ?

[yarikoptic]

1. Sunday sounds great ;) no rush for me really -- my devel box is running jessie/sid, so making it work on stable is not of as high urgency
2. no need to sweat with that one even.... on a wheezy box following one also brings the same errors
