Hi,
I've worked this week on migrating most of our Travis-CI jobs to GitHub
actions.
Travis-CI future doesn't seem very promising IMHO, due to the way they behave
commercially. They have recently changed their conditions, mostly for people
using their free offer, but that affects even GDAL despite OSGeo having a paid
subscription to them. After next June, we won't be able to get the
same quality of service we have currently without paying at least 3 times more
(and maybe much more), or we'd have to choose an offer with less concurrent
workers (5 instead of 10 currently).
So I've moved Travis CI configs to github actions (dropping a few no longer
relevant ones). The builds are now done in standard Docker images (Ubuntu
ones) instead of the one provided by the CI provider, so it should make it
easier to move to another CI if/when GHA will try to monetize us, and more
importantly it's much easier to replicate a CI job locally for debugging.
For example to run the ubuntu:18.04 job, from the top of a GDAL worktree (use
a dedicated git worktree since that will modify your tree in the host
environment)
docker run --rm -it --privileged=true -e WORK_DIR="$PWD" -v $PWD:$PWD \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
ubuntu:18.04 /bin/bash
and inside the container:
$WORK_DIR/github/workflows/ubuntu_18.04/start.sh
(that one needs priviledged docker, since it run docker containers inside
docker)
The only remaining Travis-CI job is the s390x one, that has no equivalent in
GHA. OSGeo might perhaps just subscribe to the base 1-concurrent job tier to
keep that one.
When moving & updating the jobs, I've also updated to Python >= 3.6 for,
hopefully, all targets that didn't meet this yet. So we should be good to go
for RFC 77
