test-action dependencies

[Tobias Rautenkranz]

Running mb:test tests also dependent systems.

I think it should not. It also breaks when :trivial-features is a dependency,
since its files in the tests directory are loaded, but they are not intended to
be used like this.

Maybe (if you agree that dependencies should not be tested)

(defmethod dependency-applicablep ((dependency dependency)
(action test-action))
nil)
could be added to test-action.lisp

There are some files, that should be removed from the trivial-features package:
$ file trivial-features/0.4/tests/.*
[...]
trivial-features/0.4/tests/._package.lisp: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
trivial-features/0.4/tests/._sysinfo.lisp: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
trivial-features/0.4/tests/._tests.lisp: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
trivial-features/0.4/tests/._utsname.lisp: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file

Well, that's not right.

It most definitely should, I'll push out a new version of test-action
sometime today.

Ouch, I seem to have been bitten once again by these hidden files.
This should be less of a problem going forward as I'm moving closer
and closer
to automatic releases from system definitions (this one was done using
tar).

Thanks for the report.
