I was poking around this yesterday and noticed a few things that could
be improved for our release builds:
The centos container for the x86_64 builds contained a bunch of extra
tooling we no longer need such as python3 and a C++ compiler. Along
with custom toolchain things this could all get removed since the C we
include now is quite simple.
The aarch64 and s390x cross-compiled builds had relatively high glibc
version requirements compared to the x86_64 build. This was because we
don't use a container to build the cross-compiled binaries. I added
containers here along the lines of the x86_64 build to use an older
glibc to build the release binary to lower our version requirement.
This lower the aarch64 version requirement from glibc 2.28 to 2.17.
Additionally the s390x requirement dropped from 2.28 to 2.16.
To make the containers a bit easier to read/write I added
Dockerfile
s for them in a newci/docker
directory instead ofhardcoding install commands in JS.
This isn't intended to be a really big change or anything for anyone,
but it's intended to keep our Linux-based builds consistent at least as
best we can.
