@Mlaval it's not clear to me what this fixes and if the PR is a WIP or ready to go ?

@vicb I know that when I made a PR, the create / remove symlinks did not work due to the \r at the end of the package name. Looks like the ::-1 operator removes the last character but I could not make it work on my Git Bash.

@Mlaval What terminal are you using ?
I did some research, looks like it's only available for latest versions of bash. I still had an older version on this computer. http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/144330

I'm using a recent version of Git Bash (2.6.2) and this PR fixes the issue you described with the '\r'.
Sorry for not explaining when I opened the PR.

@vicb: there are more things to fix on the platform, but this one allows to at least run tests in a browser.

Is it ok to merge still ?

I've updated the PR with the findings of @fknop so that the scripts also work in older bash.

The commit message is now more explicit.

It should be ok to merge.

When it's been :)

Green... Stupid phone!

It is now, the e2e job went flaky.

Lgtm. Can not merge from the mobile UI. Feel free to merge
