From 8ea6eead60091587e51c38df5d2b6c0f5652a0c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Romain Naour Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 23:03:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] support/scripts: don't build board defconfigs with Gitlab's pipelines trigged on tag Currently when a tag is added to the Buildroot git tree, the gitlab-ci create a pipeline with several hundred of jobs (~750) to build all defconfigs and execute the Buildroot testsuite. However, there is only a limited number of gitlab-ci runner (9 runners) and some jobs reach the timeout limit (24h) while waiting for a runner [1]. Indeed, the Buildroot project doesn't use the Gitlab's shared runners. In addition to the pipeline created when a new tag is added to the git repository, two pipelines are created each weeks to execute the Buildroot testsuite (on monday [2]) and build all defconfigs (on Thursday [3]). At some point there are too many jobs waiting in gitlab due board defconfigs builds. Indded a board defconfig requires a lot of time (~30min) compared to other jobs in order to build a toolchain and a kernel linux along with a basic rootfs. There is currently 262 defconfigs. This is even worse when several pipelines are trigged at the same time (new git tag and scheduled pipeline trigger). In order to reduce the number of long jobs, don't build board defconfigs with pipelines trigged on tag, keeping only the runtime tests and the Qemu's defconfigs.
