kiwix-desktop is built under Windows only in native_mixed config and QT
is not required for anything else. Therefore it doesn't make sense to
run QT installation in Windows native_dyn and native_static CI/CD jobs.
That will reduce the risk of those jobs failing because of problems with
QT mirrors.
Copied settings.ini of aqtinstall==3.1.21 python package (the version of
aqtinstall used by the jurplel/install-qt-action@v4 action as of today)
as .github/configs/aqt.ini and made the QT installation step use that
config. The cloned config file is going to be modified in the next commit.
Currently, both jammy and focal publish the native_dyn versions of dependencies
for libzim and libkiwix.
This creates concurrent upload issues.
This removes this step for jammy so it gets uploaded only once.
In commit 2321717, OS_NAME was introduced to build_definition
in order to support jammy + focal.
The Trigger_Docker job was not updated and was to expecting to run on OS_NAME=linux
for which there is now line anymore and thus no possibility to trigger
There is no reason to publish nightly for all project we try to build
in the CI.
We should publish nigthly for same project that we do for releases.
(Minus the filter of what have changed since last release)
Fix#743
Default version of signtool in PATH does not work properly with our CKA.
We could also load an SDK's env batch file instead but setting this on the workflow
is more maintainable as we'll get a clear missing file error on GA Image change
Initially we were building all our dependencies in release.
This was simply made by always compiling project using autotool or cmake
in release. As our project are using meson/qmake, all the dependencies
are build in release.
However, with recent port to Windows github CI, we have two problems:
- We have moved almost all buildsystem to meson
- On Windows, we cannot mix debug and release build.
So, when doing a release, do not use base dependencies cache.
This will extend the release workflow as we need to build everything but
at least we should build everything correctly.
