Pills are cached at `https://bootstrap.urbit.org` and are indexed by the first
10 characters of the `git` SHA1 of the relevant commit, i.e. as
`git-[sha1].pill`. The continuous integration build uploads these pills for
any successful build of a commit or pull request that affects the
`pkg/arvo/sys/` directory.
You can boot from one of these pills by passing the path to an Arvo working
copy with `-A` (and `-s` for *search*):
```
$ git clone https://github.com/urbit/urbit
$ urbit -F zod -sA urbit/pkg/arvo -s my-fake-zod
```
Release pills, i.e. those corresponding to vere releases, are cached at
`https://bootstrap.urbit.org` and are indexed by the vere version number, e.g.

pills) in the `bin/` directory at the repository root:
