OK. I'm learning about this as I go, so this is helpful to know it's not good practice to pin a specific suite. > Looking for the package availability > > https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=coccinelle > > seems to tell me about these: It seems that there isn't a coccinelle package available for focal yet. That's odd, since (1) focal is a LTS release, and (2) there *is* a coccinelle package on groovy, which is newer than focal. Here's a piece of mail from the coccinelle list that says there's no release yet. https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2020-June/007768.html Our static-analysis build runs on 'ubuntu-latest', which I understand is in the process of being upgraded from bionic to focal (I was pointed to https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1816 internally as a spot to learn more about this.) Double checking the latest successful static-analysis build, indeed it was on 18.04: https://github.com/git/git/runs/1811069070?check_suite_focus=true > Hmph... So, I guess we could continue to run on 18.04 until there is a focal coccinelle. Below would be the way to do that... Thanks, Taylor --- >8 --- Subject: [PATCH] .github/workflows/main.yml: run static-analysis on bionic GitHub Actions is transitioning workflow steps that run on 'ubuntu-latest' from 18.04 to 20.04 [1]. This works fine in all steps except the static-analysis one, since Coccinelle isn't available on Ubuntu focal (it is only available in the universe suite). Until Coccinelle can be installed from 20.04's main suite, pin the static-analysis build to run on 18.04, where it can be installed by default.
