+ # This sets up a special ubuntu environment exclusively for
+ # running the upstream gitlab-runner unit tests through
+ # podman as a drop-in replacement for the Docker daemon.
+ # Test and setup information can be found here:
+ # https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/27270#note_499585550
+ #
+ # Unless you know what you're doing, and/or are in contact
+ # with the upstream gitlab-runner developers/community,
+ # please don't make changes willy-nilly to this setup.
+ # It's designed to follow upstream gitlab-runner development
+ # and alert us if any podman change breaks their foundation.
+ #
+ # That said, if this task does break in strange ways or requires
+ # updates you're unsure of. Please consult with the upstream
+ # community through an issue near the one linked above. If
+ # an extended period of breakage is expected, please un-comment
+ # the related `allow_failures: $CI == $CI` line in `.cirrus.yml`.
