Hi,
When trying out jhalfs, I made a repository
https://github.com/marcindulak/jhalfs-ci
which uses github actions https://github.com/features/actions to perform and
test the jhalfs build.
It's a default setup which always takes the latest trunk of lfs and jhalfs.
Using the scripts in the repo, a build can also be performed locally, inside
of a docker container.
The approach to building jhalfs is similar to the one taken by
https://github.com/masmullin2000/LFScm:
jhalfs is built inside of a docker container on a loopback device, and the
resulting image booted in qemu.
A build workflow takes about 6 hours.
Since github actions give 2000 free minutes of the runners time per month,
one can perform about 5 runs of the workflow monthly.
This makes possible testing of jhalfs on a weekly cron schedule.
The workflow generates so called artifacts at the end of a successful build:
this includes the SBU report, installed-files, logs, test-logs and a qemu
image.
They can be downloaded, and inspected, and the quemu image could be used
locally for boot.
The qemu image is too large (~2GB) for the free github actions plan storage
limit, so I'll disable it.
Some possible actions based on the project:
1) A useful feature for debugging of would be if a particular build fails,
to print its logs as part of the makefile target.
I'm not sure what to do with the targets that generate megabytes of test
output.
Could you recommend an approach for implementing this?
The thing is that the output preferably should not interfere with the output
of `make BREAKPOINT` targets,
since I'm using them for splitting the targets into shorter parts
https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/alfs-discuss/2022-10/msg00013.html,
2) My plan is to let the cron schedule to trigger twice a month, and depending
on how
demanding the maintenance of the workflow is (the logging point 2. above would
help),
to maintain the project for some time.
Best regards,
Marcin
