## Motivation We have git_clone minion jobs which should ensure that a test distribution is always checked out. We should deprecate fetchneedles and point to that new approach ## Acceptance criteria * **AC1:** Invoking fetchneedles notifies about deprecation pointing to a viable alternative * **AC2:** openqa-in-openqa tests do not call fetchneedles * **AC3:** [Documentation](https://open.qa/docs/#_getting_tests) mentions that it is deprecated and mentions what to use instead ## Suggestions * Probably best to try out with openqa-in-openqa if everything actually works without fetchneedles, then add a deprecation note to fetchneedles pointing to the alternative * Note that fetchneedles is still needed for the initial clone for jobs which don't have CASEDIR/NEEDLES_DIR
