On mobile, apologies for brevity. Your use case makes sense. I can think of two workarounds.
1. Allow an explicit opt in to say "allow file paths, I know what I'm doing" 2. Support local tarballs, especially if we include a sha256 of the tarball contents (a feature I'm planning to add next week) On Sat, Jul 15, 2017, 9:16 PM Jan von Löwenstein <jan.loewenst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I was excited to read the blog post about this new feature but was > disappointed that exactly my main use case for it was explicitly blocked. > > I get the argument about snapshots being supposed to be immutable. > However, I need to ship the code and dependencies over to the customers > side for compliation without internet access.
