Could you please take a look?
Thanks for this report.
This FTBFS is because nunit-console uses Mono's registry API to store
user settings. Mono unconditionally stores these settings in
~/.mono/registry/. It doesn't appear to have a facility to override this
at all. Thus, if HOME is not writable and an application uses the
registry, the build will fail.
I'm assigning a clone to mono, and I suggested to hyperair that, until
this bug is fixed, we should disable the tests in gstreamer-sharp.
I reported two bugs about this. One is that you cannot override
SpecialFolders.Personal (it doesn't use $HOME)
http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=357
and the other is that the registry isn't stored in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR (if
it was, we'd be able to set that and wouldn't have this problem)
http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=358
If either of these bugs get fixed then we should be able to export the
appropriate env vars in Debian package builds to get nunit tests working
again.
Cheers,
