[Bug 31990] New: Add ability to upload extra files along with test ext

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31990

Bug #: 31990
           Summary: Add ability to upload extra files along with test ext
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified

That would be good to have the ability to upload extra files (avi files, dlls,
.drv, ...) to perform individual test (not part of the test suite).
Otherwise it requires to embed the file or use a self extracting exe which are
not very convenient.

See also this discussion thread on wine-devel:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-October/097396.html

To summarize from the discussion thread:
* As pointed out, proper conformance tests should embed any extra file they
need in the resource file:
  http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-October/097435.html

* So this would be for running one-off tests on the TestBot in which case doing
it the proper way may be more trouble than it's worth.

* The SFX approach should be investigated. If it can be done without modifying
WineTestBot then that would probably be the best solution and it should be
documented somewhere on the Wiki.
  http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-October/097406.html

* If the WineTestBot needs to be modified, then having it accept regular zip
files in addition to regular executables would probably be the easiest to use
solution.

No but then the TestBot has been deprecated in favor of the GitLab CI (which,
so far, cannot run arbitrary executables).
