These are some helpers to support unit testing in other packages, allowing
callers to exercise provider installation mechanisms without hitting any
real upstream source or having to prepare local package directories.
MockSource is a Source implementation that just scans over a provided
static list of packages and returns whatever matches.
FakePackageMeta is a shorthand for concisely constructing a
realistic-looking but uninstallable PackageMeta, probably for use with
MockSource.
FakeInstallablePackageMeta is similar to FakePackageMeta but also goes to
the trouble of creating a real temporary archive on local disk so that
the resulting package meta is pointing to something real on disk. This
makes the result more useful to the caller, but in return they get the
responsibility to clean up the temporary file once the test is over.
Nothing is using these yet.
