OK, so far we learned that this is now _doable_; but not enough to decide if this is a good thing to do or not.

So we used to have two waysto prepare the test environment; non packaged software were done via install-dependencies.sh, but packaged ones weren't.

Is this "unneeded gcc-8 was installed" something we can fix only because we now stopped doing the installation via apt addon? Or we could have fixed it while we were on apt addon but we didn't bother, and this patch fixes it "while at it"---primarily because the shell script is far more flexible to work with than travis.yml matrix and this kind of customization is far easier to do? > Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when > they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis > and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' > to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and > thus install those. > > This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure > Pipelines integration [1]: preliminary versions of that patch series > run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages > before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it > will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'. So the main point of this change is to have less knowledge to prepare the target configuration in the .travis.yml file and keep them all in ci/install-dependencies.sh, which hopefully is more reusable than .travis.yml in a non Travis environment?

Now that you mention it: no. It would have been possible to install gcc-8 only in the 'linux-gcc' build job even via the apt addon, namely by removing the two Linux build jobs from the implicit build matrix and adding them as two independent build jobs in the 'matrix.include' section of '.travis.yml'. The drawback is that all the extra packages used in both build jobs would have to be duplicated. > Or we > could have fixed it while we were on apt addon but we didn't bother, > and this patch fixes it "while at it"---primarily because the shell > script is far more flexible to work with than travis.yml matrix and > this kind of customization is far easier to do? Basically yes (though I think it's not about not bothering; I don't know about others, but it just occured to me that it would have been doable, however, even if it occured to me earlier, because of the duplicated list of common packages I wouldn't have done it). Doing it in good old shell is indeed easier and the common packages are then only listed once. > > Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when > > they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis > > and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' > > to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and > > thus install those. > > > > This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure > > Pipelines integration [1]: preliminary versions of that patch series > > run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages > > before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it > > will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'. > > So the main point of this change is to have less knowledge to > prepare the target configuration in the .travis.yml file and keep > them all in ci/install-dependencies.sh, which hopefully is more > reusable than .travis.yml in a non Travis environment? Oh, "more reusable" indeed, that's a more eloquent way to put it. > If that is the case, it makes sense to me. > > > This patch should go on top of 'ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode'. > > > > I'm not sure about the last paragraph, because: > > > > - It talks about presumed benefits for a currently still > > work-in-progress patch series of an other contributor, and I'm not > > really sure that that's a good thing.

I see, you had fun talking about a revolution [*1*]... I am much in favor of this patch, as it indeed will simplify the integration into Azure Pipelines. As to the DevOps vs Pipelines thing: DevOps is the umbrella, it consists of much more than just the automated builds (Pipelines), it also has Boards, Packages, etc, but I don't think we will ever use that in the Git project, as our workflow is based out of a mailing list.

Ever since we started using Travis CI, we specified the list of packages to install in '.travis.yml' via the APT addon. While running our builds on Travis CI's container-based infrastructure we didn't have another choice, because that environment didn't support 'sudo', and thus we didn't have permission to install packages ourselves. With the switch to the VM-based infrastructure in the previous patch we do get a working 'sudo', so we can install packages by running 'sudo apt-get -y install ...' as well. Let's make use of this and install necessary packages in 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', so all the dependencies (i.e. both packages and "non-packages" (P4 and Git-LFS)) are handled in the same file. Install gcc-8 only in the 'linux-gcc' build job; so far it has been unnecessarily installed in the 'linux-clang' build job as well. Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and thus install those. This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure Pipelines integration [1]: preliminary versions of that patch series run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'.

I'm not sure about the last paragraph, because: - It talks about presumed benefits for a currently still work-in-progress patch series of an other contributor, and I'm not really sure that that's a good thing. Perhaps I should have rather put it below the '---'. - I'm confused about the name of this Azure thing. The cover letter mentions "Azure Pipelines", the file is called 'azure-pipelines.yml', but the relevant patch I link to talks about "Azure DevOps" in the commit message. Anyway, keep that last paragraph or drop it as you see fit. .travis.yml | 21 --------------------- ci/install-dependencies.sh | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-)
