Instead of having the extra symlink in the root, this puts the symlink
in the alacritty crate. Since we build the package on Linux this is not
a problem and even allows us to get rid of the `alacritty.png` symlink.
To avoid having complicated symlinks with regards to the windows build
assets directory, it has just been removed from the `extra` directory
completely. Since we only need it for building, it doesn't matter where
it's located and users will never have to interact with it manually
anyway.
Closes#6242.
Since the CI machine is amd64, it is not possible to just execute the
aarch64 binary to test the application. So instead of running `cargo
test`, we just use `cargo build` instead.
Building on the non-release CI instead of just checking also allows us
to make sure linking works properly before a release fails due to it.
Since not all suggested clippy lints by stable clippy are supported on
the MSRV of Alacritty, this commit moves the clippy checks to the MSRV.
Unfortunately this will mean that our lints might be significantly
behind, however it ensures our CI never blocks any code that should be
valid.
Developers themselves of course can still run the latest clippy to
follow the up to date recommendations.
The previous version would search for the last tag by matching the
beginning of the tag name. By explicitly searching for the trailing `"`
with grep, an exact tag match is now enforced.
Since releases like v1.2.3 always match the beginning of their RCs
(v1.2.3-rc4), this makes sure that the assets aren't pushed to the
previous release.
By reducing the number of CI jobs for GitHub actions, it should be
possible to get a faster overview over the status of all CI jobs. While
this does increase the total build time of GitHub Actions by reducing
parallelization, it should still finish within the SourceHut CI times.
This removes all CI builds from travis-ci, due to their recent changes
in policy and harsh limitations on builds. With build times over 2
hours, it was a significant hindrance to development.
Instead of Travis CI, the CI is now split on Sourcehut and GitHub. Since
Sourcehut only supports Linux/BSD, all builds on those operating systems
are executed there. The GitHub Actions CI is used to build for
Windows/macOS, which are not available on Sourcehut.
Since asset deployment for releases requires builds on all platforms,
this is also done on GitHub actions. Though the new `upload_asset.sh`
script makes sure that migration in the future is fairly simple and we
do not tie ourselves to the overly complicated GitHub Actions ecosystem.
