The CTDB tests were not being installed by a top level Samba install:

  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12547

They were being installed as part of a standalone CTDB install, which
is why we didn't notice.

Yes, being able to install all of this is very useful.

Each night we build RPMs for a list of branches.  Then we use
autocluster to create a cluster.  We install ctdb on the cluster nodes
and ctdb-tests on a test node.  Then we are able to run ctdb_run_tests
to run most of the tests on the test node and ctdb_run_cluster_tests to
run some of the tests against the real cluster.

Having the tests installed matters most for the cluster tests.  There's
some directory name consistency mangling needed to ensure that the test
code can find things on the cluster nodes.  The cluster tests aren't
currently run as part of autobuild... because they need a cluster and
we've never quite got there...  :-)

peace & happiness,
martin
