Mmm, it's not very simple, because crosshurd uses debian-ports as
well. I guess your local mirror may have it, but we can't blindly assume
that the apt archive which runs the test does have it (very few archives
do). Possibly we'd have to probe whether it does, and if not, fallback
to deb.debian.org.

Bug#956064: crosshurd: please honor configured apt archive during autopkgtest

2020-04-06 Thread Paul Gevers
Source: crosshurd
Version: 1.7.56
Severity: normal
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertag: needs-internet

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, due to a timeout on one
of our arm64 workers in China, I noticed that you hardcode the url to
use for downloading your packages. This is an issue on those workers as
the deb.debian.org infrastructure doesn't work well. Instead, we use
locally supported archives.

Please honor the apt archive which runs the test instead of hardcoding
the archive.

For background info: we are designing a needs-internet restriction to
document tests that need unrestricted internet access during testing. In
the current state your autopkgtest would qualify, but if all you need is
access to an Debian archive, you wouldn't need that restriction if you
honor the configured apt archive.
