Thanks Thomas for the information, however I noticed that the
filename no longer will contain the build revision?
So if I retrieve the appimage of today, it will be named
"kmymoney-5.1-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage" just as it will be tomorrow,
the day after and anytime in the future.... So how to differentiate
between builds if we have an issue that appears in a specific build ?
Maybe the devs never used the build version to troubleshoot and debug?
I agree with the "5.1" .... Is it relevant? Perhaps the build should
be named something like "kmymoney_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.Appimage"??? (HHMMSS
being the time the build was compiled)...
Just my take on it.
Thanks!
Quoting Thomas Baumgart via KMyMoney <kmymo...@kde.org>:
KDE Sysadmin is working on moving the tasks performed by
binary-factory.kde.org
(which currently builds our AppImage, MacOS and Windows versions) to
the Gitlab
infrastructure and its CI system.
As a first candidate, the generation of AppImages has now been activated on
Gitlab and shutdown on Jenkins.
We still need to update our AppImage page to reflect the change. Downloading
and extracting is a bit different than it used to be, therefore the AppImage
is now build upon each commit and not only once a day or on a manual trigger
by a developer. On the downside, only the latest version may be available.
To get the appimage, visit https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/pipelines
and press the download icon on the right of the entry. This will open a list
of downloadable items. craft_appimage_x86_64:archive is what you
want to click.
This will start the download of artifacts.zip which contains e.g.
kmymoney-5.1-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage
in the .kde-ci-packages sub-directory. Extract that file. As a
bonus, you won't
have to fiddle with the execution permission anymore but can run it
right away.
Yet a mystery to resolve: why is the master branch version called
5.1 in the filename?
Many thanks to Julius Künzel who did most of the work of the
transition for KMyMoney.
