Bug 120342 – [EFL] Change the path of test font from tarball to git

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: LATER
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Gyuyoung Kim]

Thanks to mrobinson, we can use git repository to download the test font. I think it would be good to use git instead of tarball.

We intentionally did not use git in jhbuild in the past because it was causing bot failures when internet was down on the bots. Are we sure we want to do this now?

For the record, the issue was experienced on the Intel bots which are down now. Those bots were frequently losing their internet connectivity for some reason.

I do not know how stable the internet connectivity is on the remaining Samsung bots. You probably know better than me since you are managing them.

So I don't mind r+'ing this if you're confident this won't cause bot failures.

As you know, other module(libseccomp) already have used git. Besides if internet is down on the bots, we have no choice but to stop all build and regression tests. However, I believe our bots will not down internet, as you may know, we use Amazon EC2.

Are you sure no tests need rebaselining since you're using a newer font package?

There are a lots of regression when we use new test font. I will replace font with this patch when we have obvious reason.
