From 47ee7ae670e7545353617d2b868599d4cf1b98d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Asher Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 13:42:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Bump minimum glibc to 2.28 (#6439) At least, for the standalone and for anyone running on default Node 18. If support for 2.17 is needed then one would need to build Node 18 with 2.17 and then build code-server with that version (specifically, the native npm modules). --- .github/workflows/release.yaml | 36 +++++++--------------------------- docs/install.md | 11 +++++------ 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/release.yaml b/.github/workflows/release.yaml index 90f9d114d..3bd5f36b7 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/release.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/release.yaml @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ jobs: runs-on: ubuntu-latest timeout-minutes: 15 needs: npm-version - container: "centos:7" + container: "centos:8" env: CODECOV_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} @@ -42,12 +42,10 @@ jobs: - name: Install development tools run: | - yum install -y epel-release centos-release-scl make - yum install -y devtoolset-9-{make,gcc,gcc-c++} jq rsync python3 - # for keytar - yum install -y libsecret-devel - # for kerberos - yum install -y krb5-devel + cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ + sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* + sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* + yum install -y gcc-c++ make jq rsync python3 libsecret-devel krb5-devel - name: Install nfpm and envsubst run: | @@ -69,10 +67,8 @@ jobs: - name: Decompress npm package run: tar -xzf package.tar.gz - # NOTE: && here is deliberate - GitHub puts each line in its own `.sh` - # file when running inside a docker container. - name: Build standalone release - run: source scl_source enable devtoolset-9 && npm run release:standalone + run: npm run release:standalone - name: Install test dependencies run: SKIP_SUBMODULE_DEPS=1 yarn --frozen-lockfile @@ -104,25 +100,7 @@ jobs: discussion_category_name: "📣 Announcements" files: ./release-packages/* - # NOTE@oxy: - # We use Ubuntu 16.04 here, so that our build is more compatible - # with older libc versions.
