test_extract fails on isolated VM

[jayvdb]

When I run test_extract on a rpmbuild isolated VM, i.e. no network, the test fails.

It would be good if these tests used test data that is included in the PyPI sdist, or even test data which can be generated on the VM before the tests.

What kind of tools are available on this VM? I lean toward generating them and and rpmbuild VM sounds like a good place to build test rpms. Could you provide an example of how to build an rpm or a pointer to some documentation using tools / a tool within the VM? If so then I can take this the rest of the way and generate some RPMs as test files.

Anything that is already packaged for Fedora or openSUSE. Or I can create new packages for new tools you want to use, no problems.

Easiest way is to add a .spec as test data, and use rpmbuild.

@jayvdb Sorry I've been really strapped for time, do you think you could script the creation of those packages? That's what I was thinking of doing is building them within the setUpClass method of the extraction tests.
