Test Packages on Gitpod

A one-off disposable environment to test packages for the latest ubuntu release of our SW distros.

To get started, simply click on the badge below:

Instead, if you aim to test against different distros/releases, do:

1. 📝 Edit the file .gitpod.Dockerfile and create a new branch. In detail, you have to fiddle with these sections.
2. 🚀 Launch the corresponding Gitpod workspace from within the new branch. Don't click on the main badge but rather customize the URL context. To ease this operation, you may install the Gitpod browser extension.
3. 🧹 Possibly, finish up by wiping out the branch.

⚠ How to flush the docker cache

As Docker relies on cached sections, you may still be using an old image when you've just updated a package to test. To invalidate the cache forcing Docker to build the relevant sections entirely again, apply the following workarounds:

• If you aim to build the whole image again, increase the variable INVALIDATE_DOCKER_CACHE_ALL.
• If you've just fixed up the packages and aim to download and install them again, increase the variable INVALIDATE_DOCKER_CACHE_DL.
