18    Test for optional features should be automatically skipped when run on
19    an installation where the feature is not available or the test can't be
20    run for some other reason as may be the case with the postgis interface
21    tests (see below). Skipped tests are marked with an S in the default
22    brief output and are listed after all test have been run.
23    
24    The PostGIS tests require a PostGIS installation on the machine where
25    the tests are run even though Thuban can use PostGIS database as long as
26    psycopg is installed. The test will create their own database cluster in
27    temp/postgis and start their own postmaster process, so the only
28    requirement is that the software is installed and the various postgresql
29    command line programs are on the PATH because they're executed as
30    subprocesses to build the database cluster, start the postmaster, etc.
31    
32    E.g. Debian 4.0 (Etch) can have several PostGIS installations
33    in parallel. So you can give the PATH to the one you want to test
34    on the command line:
35    
36        $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/ python runtests.py
