Hello!

I am trying to port slapos to ppc64le (or ppc64el as debian calls it) and after applying few modifications to slapos tree, I need to create re6st and slapos packaging based on this new tree.

I first started with re6st as it's the packaging that's non-trivial to modify in place, considering it works with the download-cache and extends-cache.

I ran:

git clone https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.package.git
# commit hash at time of writing: 722f0e8d03f093148379d1d18647e27ad193fe3c
cd slapos.package/obs/re6st
./make

And I was met with the following error, with not much of an idea what it is caused by:

# Processing buildout: sdist -> build/opt/re6st/.installed.cfg
While:
  Installing.
  Loading extensions.
Error: Missing option: python:executable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./make", line 323, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

    tasks[t](args.dry_run)
  File "./make", line 56, in __call__
    self._run = run = run(dry_run)
  File "./make", line 162, in _run
    deps.append((dep, dep(dry_run)))
  File "./make", line 56, in __call__
    self._run = run = run(dry_run)
  File "./make", line 162, in _run
    deps.append((dep, dep(dry_run)))
  File "./make", line 56, in __call__
    self._run = run = run(dry_run)
  File "./make", line 186, in _run
    self.run(self)
  File "make.py", line 139, in buildout
    check_call(("bin/buildout",), cwd=BUILD)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 190, in check_call
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '('bin/buildout',)' returned non-zero exit status 1

I tried deleting everything and re-doing it all again few times, with not much luck.

Any pointers welcome!

Thank you!
