The test matrix is basically encoded into:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-autobuilder-helper/tree/config.json

run across the various autobuilder workers on https://autobuilder.yocto
.io/buildslaves, i.e. centos7, debian8, debian9, fedora26, fedora27,
opensuse423, opensuse tumbleweed, ubuntu 1604 and ubuntu 1704

I'm not sure its reasonable to expect everyone to test across all those
combinations!

I strongly believe we should only have network access in do_fetch and
that our source mirroring should be functional and I therefore very
much support what the patch is doing and appreciate this getting fixed.

Sorry for the terse nature of the replies, we're just seeing a lot of
patches which are breaking the regression tests and its hard to root
cause them back to the underlying patches and help people debug them.

I do appreciate the help in getting this issue fixed as it will be a
good improvement to the fetcher.

Cheers,

Richard
