If a git fetch/clone/submodule URL points to gitlab, github, bitbucket, etc and that repo does not exist any more, those services will prompt the user for a username/password so that the service can check if its a private repo. Private repos show up the same as non-existent repos. This employs two techniques for making sure that git never waits at those prompts. It instead should just fail immediately. The buildserver has been hanging on these prompts forever, until manually killed. This change will apply to updates both on the buildserver host, and the buildserver guest vm. This uses the "insteadOf" git config option to rewrite URLs to always use HTTPS and then include a fake username/password so that git will use those in the prompts and fail immediately. This trick has been in use on the verification server for a long while and has been working well. It has also been used on jenkins.debian.net in the host. https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Verification_Server/ It also includes GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT, which also prevents the bad behavior, which was added in git 2.3. https://github.com/blog/1957-git-2-3-has-been-released

Drozer Scanner
There is a new feature under development that can scan any APK in a repo, or any build, using Drozer. Drozer is a dynamic exploit scanner, it runs an app in the emulator and runs known exploits on it.
This setup requires specific versions of two Python modules: docker-py 1.9.0 and requests older than 2.11. Other versions might cause the docker-py connection to break with the containers. Newer versions of docker-py might have this fixed already.
For Debian based distributions:
apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev python-docker
