^^^ this for example. The idea is to (a) switch linux CI builds from vm images to container images, and (b) use our own, custom container images. This allows to roll the dependencies needed for CI into the container images, so there is no need to download them in CI jobs. Fixes temporary CI failures due to network problems and download errors. This also allows to remove any distribution-specific commands (apt-get for example) from CI jobs. This will be handled in the Dockerfiles used to build our custom container images instead. Oliver is also working on ubuntu containers, look here: > > The Dockerfiles are here: > > https://github.com/osteffenrh/edk2-build-images, Fedora is a bit faster on updating stuff. For example: ubuntu 22.04 uses gcc 11 whereas Fedora 36 uses gcc 12 (both distros are in beta right now). Whenever we want: (a) stick to ubuntu, or (b) switch to fedora, or (c) use both is up for debate. > > but they should, of > > course, then move to a repo in the Tianocore group, or something like > > that.

For the Dockerfiles that should probably a git repo in the tianocore group. For the container images the obvious choices are github and azure. Given that microsoft owns github I'd expect both github actions and azure pipelines are running on the same cloud infrastructure and it doesn't make much of a difference whenever github or azure container registry is used to host container images. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
