We can (and mostly already have) setup simple caches to prevent that.
How do you set up cache on a developer's laptop?
AFAIK CI slaves are cleaned every time anyway, so in practice there
wouldn`t be much difference except we will have less hard-coding and
perhaps be more efficient (are we certain we only download what we
need atm?)
The repo directory does not need to be cleaned every time. It can also be
resync'ed from a central repo - which still going to be faster than any
other fetching.
(hopefully sync'ed into the slave /dev/shm btw).
The existing solution looks more like premature optimization gone
badly
IMO.
Try to run ovirt-system-tests, clean the repo and re-run - it's 20-30
minutes at least longer - which is far more than what it takes to run the
whole test suite.
I completely agree the manual maintenance is an annoyance, wish we had
something in between.
