giovannibussi / macports-ci Goto Github PK

I had a good experience zipping and restoring my entire MacPorts prefix into a /tmp subdirectory when working on a shared macOS computer. (I had a tight quota for my home dir, that is the reason for zipping. The computer's /tmp would be wiped every night.)

I believe that it should be possible to use Travis CI cache feature for the entire /opt/local subtreee and save time on repeatedly installing MacPorts, and the installing the same ports over and over again.

It would require logic to skip MacPorts install in case it is already present, and logic to uninstall unused old versions of ports, so they don't accumulate in the cache. The sudo port uninstall inactive might be a start.

Anybody experimented with Travis cache before? I tried the following, but it did not have any effect (binary packages were fetched over the network again, not reused from /opt/local/var/macports/software). Also, I'd like to cache the unpacked packages. Unpacking the entire cache at once should be faster than unpacking ports one by one.

    before_script:
    # configure local archive site
    - |
      sudo dd of=/opt/local/etc/macports/archive_sites.conf <<EOF
      name local
      urls file:///opt/local/var/macports/software
      EOF
    # install ports

    cache:
      directories:
        - /opt/local/var/macports/software
    before_cache:
      - sudo port uninstall inactive

edit: I took inspiration from https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/ShareArchives

It does not disturb the installation but it looks not functional. To be checked

In the case of OS version 10.xx.x, it works fine. It returns 10.xx.

But in the case of OS version 10.xx, it returns 10.

I faced this issue in macOS Catalina until I updated it to 10.15.1.

Thanks a lot for making this installation script!

However, when I'm trying this out on GitHub Action's new macos-14 M1 runner, I'm having the following error:

macports-ci: install
macports-ci: keeping HomeBrew
macports-ci: prefix=/opt/local
macports-ci: Installing from binary
macports-ci: Sync mode=tarball
/var/folders/1k/qq3pcbf12vb6vyblh81736p40000gn/T/tmp.XSpFoyLs3U ~/work/pacaptr/pacaptr
macports-ci: Unknown OSX version 14.2

As per https://www.macports.org/install.php Sonoma seems to be officially supported by now.

Thanks again in advance!

Any change of supporting this. My Travis build is using macOS 11.2.

probably no big deal at this point

set-env and add-path are deprecated in Github Actions. I think your script still uses them because I can see a bunch of warnings in the last Actions run in this repository - https://github.com/GiovanniBussi/macports-ci/actions/runs/299832976 and I also get a bunch of warnings downstream in my repository - https://github.com/reikdas/cling/actions/runs/309226905. Could these please be fixed? Thanks!

If it is required to use MacPorts, maybe it should be done automatically in the script?

Hi, could you declare a license for this, something like MIT or Apache 2?
