James Peach commented on MESOS-3608:
------------------------------------

Hey [~tillt], I posted https://reviews.apache.org/r/40553/, which depends on MESOS-3725.

This turned out to be a bit more involved that I had expected due to the number of tests that exec or dlopen various tools. I have some concerns about how maintainable this will be into the future. The current status is that some of the tests fail due to various shell scripts expecting to be run from the build directory, but I wanted to get this out and get your comments and review. Thanks.

> Many of the tests in Mesos could be described as integration tests, since they have external dependencies on kernel features, installed tools, permissions, etc. I'd like to be able to generate a {{mesos-tests}} RPM along with my {{mesos}} RPM so that I can run the same tests in different deployment environments.
> I propose a new configuration option named {{--enable-test-tools}} that will install the tests into {{libexec/mesos/tests}}. I'll also need to make some minor changes to tests so that helper tools can be found in this location as well as in the build directory.
