Merge lp://qastaging/~lool/ubuntuone-client/tritcask-use-platform-api into lp://qastaging/ubuntuone-client

Pushed some more revisions; sorry, there's some history garbage: r1387 to r1390 were attempts to fix the SetFileSecurity issue:
* it's a deprecated function, so I tried using the new SetNamedSecurityInfo function
* I also tried matching permissions with files on my system which have an ACL entry for sysops too
* I dropped some unused function (_get_group_sid)

but I didn't want these revs to end up in this mp, and I forgot to revert my tree to the right revno before committing the other fixes, so r1391 has these changed reverted.

Let me know if you'd like some of them in another mp, but they don't fix the orginal bug so I'm not adding them here.

I pushed a last rev 1397 which is untested; I was hoping using normpath would fix all issues without having to call into the os_helper API for everything, but it didn't help after all, so I'm reverting the normpath changes.

I didn't actually test tritcask.py after reverting though.

44 +is_dir = unit.is_dir

Typo here.

Have you not done ./autogen.sh && make check in the tree?

Sorry I hadn't (I thought I had noted that, but apparently I forgot)

I've pushed r1398 which fixes this particular issue, and then make check exposed another issue which I've fixed in r1399; this should hopefully be good to merge now. NB: some tests were actually skipped, not sure why:
PASSED (skips=12, successes=2759)

Also didn't run some part of the tests it seems:
ubuntuone.devtools.errors.TestError: The Python package providing the requested reactor is not installed. You can find it here: https://github.com/ghtdak/qtreactor

[ Would you mind adding some advice in HACKING on the packages that one should install? I had to install:
  xutils-dev gobject-introspection python-mocker
to run ./autogen.sh && make check, and I can see that other bits like gnome-common are needed. ]

You can use "apt-get build-dep ubuntuone-client" for the most part. python-qt4reactor is packaged, but not in main, so it's not in the build-depends of ubuntuone-client in the main archive. But adding the nightlies ppa (ppa:ubuntuone/nightlies) and then apt-get update && apt-get build-dep ubuntuone-client will pull everything needed.

Also, can you please do a "bzr commit --fixes=lp:1101344 --unchanged" to link the bug into the branch? Thanks.

Done in r1400.

looks good. tests pass on darwin.

Thanks Loïc!
