[qunit] stop dealing with filesystem paths qunit tests need a few things served by cubicweb: - qunit itself, which is now handled by CWDevtoolsStaticController (serving files in cubicweb/devtools/data) - standard cubicweb or cubes data files, handled by the DataController - the tests themselves and their dependencies. These can live in <apphome>/data or <apphome>/static and be served by one of the STATIC_CONTROLLERS This avoids having to guess in CWSoftwareRootStaticController where to serve things from (some files may be installed, others are in the source tree), and should hopefully make it possible to have these tests pass when using tox, and to write qunit tests for cubes, outside of cubicweb itself. This requires modifying the tests to only declare URL paths instead of filesystem paths, and moving support files below test/data/static.

About this site
===============

This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
data selected from the object database using a specific query language.

This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
