Locally-reproducing package tests

[news 28]

Hi,

 

In building the scalable replacement for package tests, the CI team

was careful to ensure that local-reproducibility was maintained. If

you would like to quickly iterate on tests, or closely mirror the

production environment when debugging, we have provided some

instructions:

Please note that while this will block much unwarranted traffic, it

does not completely replicate the production firewall rules. Only an

upload to the archive will be able to tell you with certainty whether

your test is free from attempts to access the Internet.

 

Thanks
