I haven't had time to read all 31 patches from v4 in detail but I have
looked at the results in seen.
Looking at seen:ci/install-dependencies.sh the shebang has been changed
to "#!/bin/sh" but it contains "BREW_PACKAGE=${CC_PACKAGE/-/@}" which is
a bashism.
Looking at seen:.github/workflows/main.yaml to skip running the tests
one has to set "skip-tests: no" which is utterly confusing.
From what I saw scanning the patches there seemed to be a lot of churn,
both of existing code and code that gets added and then moved/refactored
within the series.
Looking at the output of a recent ci run of seen the steps to prepare
the environment before building and testing print all the environment
variables rather than just the ones being set for that step which seems
to go against the aim of "CI: narrow down variable definitions in
--build and --test". (Also the "SKIP" prefix in the output lacks a ":")
Dscho raised concerns that this removes any support for azure pipelines
which he uses when preparing security patches.
I think splitting out the build and test steps is a good idea but I'm
less convinced by some of the other changes.
Best Wishes
