Running into problems with a documentation build on [jenkins](http://build.ros.org/job/Kdoc __py_trees_ros__ ubuntu_xenial_amd64/8/consoleFull#console-section-24) that I can’t seem to reproduce despite trying to recreate the workspace as faithfully as the log reports. Is there a way to build the job locally with a docker like can be done with the pre-releases?

That is documented here:

Though I haven’t tried it myself.

Great, thanks @wjwwood. I can reproduce with these instructions.
