It seems that we are hitting https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/11101 which deliberately breaks CI jobs running on Ubuntu 20.04 images, in preparation for its removal targetted for Apr 15th, 2025. The following is a random/blind attempt, but I need a lot of help ;-). [jc: brian and Taylor CC'ed for their ac112fd4 (Add additional CI jobs to avoid accidental breakage, 2024-10-31)] (1) I do not know if the deprecation schedule at GitHub is the same for native runner images and dockerized ones. Do we want to leave the linux-TEST-vars that uses image ubuntu:20.04 alone for now? (2) If we were to update it to ubuntu:22.04, would gcc-8 still be the right "ancient-ish" version of the compiler, or should we update it as well? (3) Linux32 job running on image i386/ubuntu:focal has comments that says it is supported until 2025-04-02; should we simply drop that job, as 32-bit platforms are less and less relevant these days? It is not so urgent but debian-11 job also should be replaced with something slightly newer next summer. (4) I have no idea how the "sparse" job, which seems to download pre-built sparse using magic incantation - name: Download a current `sparse` package uses: git-for-windows/get-azure-pipelines-artifact@v0 with: repository: git/git definitionId: 10 artifact: sparse-20.04 - name: Install the current `sparse` package run: sudo dpkg -i sparse-20.04/sparse_*.deb is supposed to be updated. Should that be coordinated with the git-for-windows project, where its .github/workflows/test.yml has a similar insn to build sparse-20.04? It appears that Dscho (CC'ed) is futzing with the generation of sparse package on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 and getting affected by the same 20.04 brownout https://dev.azure.com/git/git/_build/results?buildId=2396&view=results so probably I do not have to worry about it and let Dscho take care of the whole thing? .github/workflows/main.yml | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git c/.github/workflows/main.yml w/.github/workflows/main.yml index 9959b61ece..1d4422c898 100644 --- c/.github/workflows/main.yml +++ w/.github/workflows/main.yml @@ -372,7 +372,7 @@ jobs: image: ubuntu:rolling cc: clang - jobname: linux-TEST-vars - image: ubuntu:20.04 + image: ubuntu:22.04 cc: gcc cc_package: gcc-8 - jobname: linux-breaking-changes @@ -446,7 +446,7 @@ jobs: if: needs.ci-config.outputs.enabled == 'yes' env: jobname: sparse - runs-on: ubuntu-20.04 + runs-on: ubuntu-22.04 concurrency: group: sparse-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: ${{ needs.ci-config.outputs.skip_concurrent == 'yes' }} @@ -457,9 +457,9 @@ jobs: with: repository: git/git definitionId: 10 - artifact: sparse-20.04 + artifact: sparse-22.04 - name: Install the current `sparse` package - run: sudo dpkg -i sparse-20.04/sparse_*.deb + run: sudo dpkg -i sparse-22.04/sparse_*.deb - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Install other dependencies run: ci/install-dependencies.sh
