Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 15 2021 at 12:44): Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 15 2021 at 12:44):In view of https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/15027 I am wondering @Gaëtan Gilbert if we should provide a bit more structure to the CI scripts; the implementation there doesn't seem scalable to me.
Maybe we have reached the point bash is not the right tool for us anymore?
Gaëtan Gilbert (Oct 15 2021 at 12:46):it works ok so far, but if you want to do that work don't let me stop you
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 15 2021 at 13:16):well that last PR has me unconvinced, seems quite fragile to have to ensure every script includes the boilerplate
Théo Zimmermann (Oct 15 2021 at 14:16):It doesn't worry me because people usually copy existing boilerplate to add new CI targets.
Théo Zimmermann (Oct 15 2021 at 14:17):That being said, if you want to convert this stuff to a new language, feel free to do it.
Théo Zimmermann (Oct 15 2021 at 14:17):One problem though is that if you choose to use a language that we don't already know well (e.g. Ruby) then we'll need to learn that to help maintain it.
Théo Zimmermann (Oct 15 2021 at 14:17):Not that I know shell so well either :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 15 2021 at 15:16):Doing that in bash would also be fine, we can make the scripts to export donwnload() and build() and call them from the CI script, if we top driver needs some then store the funcs in an array
Ali Caglayan (Oct 16 2021 at 12:21):I'm not sure using another language will make the scripts any easier to maintain. But I agree that structuring/documenting them a bit more is a good step forward.
