Please do not install tests

[yurivict]

I am getting the message:

pkg-static: py27-searx-0.14.0 conflicts with py27-suds-jurko-0.6 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tests/__init__.py

There is no need to install tests; they only conflict with other packages that do the same.

Version 0.14.0.

Do you use the debian packaged version of searx?

[yurivict]

No, I am creating the FreeBSD port, and it can't be installing tests.

In the Debian package we just patch searx to not install tests. In fact we don't install lots of things. Our full diff against setup.py reads:

I patched the upcoming FreeBSD package too. This bug is meant to "upstream" this, so that distros don't all need to patch.

BTW, settings.yml, templates are required files. You shouldn't have patched them away.

[josch]

We patch them out in Debian because:

• settings.yml is a configuration file and thus belongs into /etc/searx. We also ship /usr/share/doc/searx/examples/settings.yml.gz

• templates and static would be installed into /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/searx if they were not commented out in setup.py. But those are static files which are not Python scripts and thus they belong to /usr/share/searx instead.

Exactly: #1211
