some fix for windows

[scilo7]

Replace path.join by '/'.join in the debian subfolder, since it is guaranteed to be linux paths. Otherwise, it doesn't work on windows (issues with antislash and backslash).

Hi, @lvasseur !

Thanks for the time to bring Windows support; But the thing is, some of the areas you changed are not covered by tests, and we're striving to have the highest coverage we can - right now I'm not happy with the overall coverage we have, which is about 57%, and the supervisor module is one of the least covered ones, with 27%.

So may I ask you a favor? Can you build some tests to make sure that your changes don't break the current version? These are some hints for you to make it happen:

• Take a look at the "test" target of the Makefile, that's what we use to run our tests - both in the dev machines and in the Continuous Integration system (travis);
• Take a look at how the "tests/unit/" directory is organized, and how the unit tests are being structured. They might contain precious clues to how you can build yours in a non-painful way.

Let us know how that goes, and don't hesitate to reach us if you need a hand with that, OK?! :-)

Cheers!

Or, as an alternative, you can wait for me to raise up that coverage, and do your changes. I've been investing some time on overall code coverage, so it would be fine for me to focus on supervisor coverage for this pull request.

So, @lvasseur , I discussed this pull request with @heynemann , and unfortunately the committers of this project don't have easy access to a Windows machine (all of us work either on Linux or MacOSX), which makes it pretty hard to maintain our codebase compatible with Windows. That being said, we opted by not supporting it at all, in order to avoid hindering the progress of this project. We have many features to implement, yet, to get it to a world-class provisioning software, and supporting Windows would not be a wise decision for us, at least not now.

I hope you understand this, and please let us know if you have interest in adopting another *nix-based operating system and in keeping participating to this project. Therefore, I'm closing this issue and won't merge this pull request, sorry for that.

Hello. Well, I understand the rationale, but it's too bad since it really works on a windows box with the small fix above... Anyway, thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye on the project.
