First, https://www.logilab.net/elo is an internal URL that should not
appear outside of Logilab. I wonder why you see it.

Second, it is true that by focusing on Debian packaging for our own
use, not everything we publish is easy_installable. Please help us
improve this if you can.

Third, there are *two* apycot version. 

Older one is stand-alone and its web page is
http://www.logilab.org/project/apycot with software downloadable from
http://ftp.logilab.org/pub/apycot/

Newer one is integrated with CubicWeb and dowloadable from our
list of mercurial repositories:
http://hg.logilab.org/apycotbot/
http://hg.logilab.org/cubes/apycot/

In this case, the description of the tests is stored in a CubicWeb
application and the apycotbot is run as a separate process that stores
the results of the tests in the CubicWeb instance. Tests report are
browseable in the web interface and graphs can be computed. The output
is much better than what was available with the previous version, by
setting things up is slightly more complex.

Please write again if you need more help.
