Testing changes in DIB images

Testing a local ironic-python-agent change in /admin/dib requires rebuilding an image with the following procedure.

1. Make sure your changes are committed to your local repository. DIB needs to know a branch name to use (my-test-branch in the example below).

2. Build an image as described in /admin/dib, providing a location of your local repository and the branch name, for example:

   DIB_REPOLOCATION_ironic_python_agent=/home/user/path/to/repo \
       DIB_REPOREF_ironic_python_agent=my-test-branch \
       ironic-python-agent-builder -o my-ipa --release 9-stream centos

3. A similar process (with one additional variable) can be used for ironic-lib changes:

   DIB_REPOLOCATION_ironic_lib=/home/user/path/to/repo \
       DIB_REPOREF_ironic_lib=my-test-branch \
       IRONIC_LIB_FROM_SOURCE=true \
       ironic-python-agent-builder -o my-ipa --release 9-stream centos
