ci: the family's build pipeline, and PKGVER by export
Brings this manifest to the shape the sibling services share.
cacher is installed by install.sh instead of a raw curl of the binary, in
two tasks: install.sh appends its PATH export to ~/.buildenv, which only
the next task sources. The old fetch had no -f, so an HTTP error body was
written to ~/.local/bin/cacher and chmod +x'd; the installer verifies
against checksums.txt.
The version task drops the sed of the tracked APKBUILD. Measured on
go1.26.5, rewriting a tracked file sets vcs.modified=true and Go stamps
+dirty into Main.Version for the whole abuild run, so PKGVER is exported
and APKBUILD reads pkgver="${PKGVER:-0.0.0}". One git describe decides
it: the tag, the tag plus commits, or the commit count. Tags join
allow-refs so pushing v0.9.0 produces the 0.9.0 apk. The export alone is
not enough — abuild works inside the checkout and puts src/, pkg/ and
GOTMPDIR=tmp/ there, so .gitignore covers all three.
cache_restore takes --optional rather than || true, which also swallowed
bad credentials and a dead bucket, and gains the half-restored module
cache repair block. cache_save moves after publish so an S3 hiccup cannot
strand a good apk, and loses its cacher exists guards: dir upload already
skips a present key. publish gains the no-credentials gate.
The stylesheet is now built in CI: sassc and minify, the scss task that
materializes the shared partials no apk ships, make css before the
compile and make check-css after it. The committed
web/static/main.min.79713f25.css stays tracked for now — build() prints
git status and the digest so the first CI run says whether the pipeline
reproduces those bytes, and dropping it from the index is a second step.
package() calls make install-files. abuild runs it in a fresh process
that never called build(), so make install would relink the binary from a
cold cache and ship a compilation nothing had checked.
Reasoning lives in docs/ci.md: the manifest is a varchar(16384) and a
branch over the cap gets no CI at all
fix(apk): keep -modcacherw when overriding GOFLAGS
The GOFLAGS="-trimpath" passed to make clobbers abuild's default
GOFLAGS, dropping -modcacherw: the module cache then extracts read-only
and the CI cache tarball made from it fails to unpack on the next build
(mkdir into 0555 dirs, permission denied — warm build #266). The
poisoned gomod tarball was deleted by ad-hoc job #268.
ci: cache Go module and build dirs via cacher
Same scheme as sr-ht-dolt (dbd8638 there): restore ~/go/pkg/mod and
~/.cache/go-build from the Garage docker-cache bucket before abuild and
seed them back after, keyed by go.sum via cacher (go.bigb.es/cacher).
GOCACHE/GOMODCACHE are re-pinned inside build() because abuild redirects
them into its throwaway $tmpdir and an upstream typo in abuild.in
clobbers any pre-set GOMODCACHE with GOCACHE's value.
ci: commit the apk build, packaging and mirror-trigger files
These three were written but never committed, so the whole publishing chain
was dead from its first link: with no .build.yml on sourcecraft there is none
on the git.srht.bigb.es mirror either, so the push hook has no manifest to
submit, no build ever ran, and compare.sr.ht has never appeared in the apk
index at repo.bigb.es — which today holds spec.sr.ht alone.
The code itself was mirroring fine, which is what made this hard to see: the
sourcehut side sits on the current commit, so everything looks configured
until you ask git which of these files it actually knows about.
.sourcecraft/webhooks.yaml is in the same state and has the same consequence
one level up: the gitsync webhook was never registered, so the mirror has been
riding its hourly safety-net poll rather than updating on push.
The build secret apk-ci-s3 the publish task needs now exists on the account,
so nothing else blocks the first build.
