Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:38): Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:38):Is there a reason why we still have some standalone devs without a proper job in the CI? It's annoying for overlays, because they're hardcoded in the downstream script.
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:39):I am thinking for instance of verdi_raft, which embeds struct_tact, inf_seq_ext, cheerios and verdi.
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:42):Lack of manpower @Pierre-Marie Pédrot
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:42):ok, so no real reason
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:42):not sure what the point of splitting the verdi script would be tbh
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:42):there is a lot of improvements we could do w.r.t. overlays, i have a long list
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):when I have a bit of time I will write a patch then
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):just didn't found an intern or engineer to help with them
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):@Gaëtan Gilbert the dev tool scripts do not support internal deps
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):Indeed I think that overlays should work for devs as in the fast CI mode we discussed
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):and have much better dev scripts
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):what scripts?
Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jun 28 2022 at 09:43):./create-overlays
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:44):^ this
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:44):right I guess you still need to comment out the make line
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:44):also it's annoying from the github UI in case of failure because it's misleading
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:44):my understanding is that we did that when dep management was a hell in gitlab ci:
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:45):with all the pipeline depth and whatnot
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:45):now that gitlab provides a straightforward graph dep model it should be free
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:45):each job has about 5min of startup + end time so we don't want to split too much
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:45):yet another argument to reduce the size of vo files (and hence docker images)
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:46):I can live with this but I think it's quite a wart
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:46):I think first we should split the docker image into one image for base and one for edge
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:46):vo files aren't in the docker image btw
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:47):can't we split the scripts but run several of them in the gitlab ci yml file in a single target?
Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Jun 28 2022 at 09:48):this would solve most of my problems
Gaëtan Gilbert (Jun 28 2022 at 09:51):sure
with the current way it's written when there are missing deps they just get run too so it's easy
Karl Palmskog (Jun 28 2022 at 10:38):as de facto maintainer of verdi_raft and friends, please let me know if we can do anything on repo side to help devs out.
