The problem is definitely worse than that -- I've been working on the
hobo-test-environment for the past week, trying to make that easier
for people to use. I don't think that anybody besides myself has
successfully run the full suite of system tests.
System tests are always going to have more substantial requirements,
but I'm trying to make that easier for people to handle. Hopefully I
will be calling for volunteers soon to iron out the rest of the speed
bumps.
As far as your sqlite idea goes, that's a great idea. If you don't
feel like implementing it yourself, make sure to enter a feature
request on Lighthouse so that it doesn't get lost. Unfortunately, I'm
over committed right now with "real work".
thanks,
Bryan
