@veloman-yunkan Great but I don't know how/what to answer to you. We probably need to move the whole linux compilation ci/cd on jammy. |
@kelson42 Then I believe that such a transition shouldn't be done as part of this PR. Rather a separate ticket must be opened and the pros and cons of the proposed upgrade should be discussed there in a broader scope. |

As this stage, I believe this could be a temporary solution indeed. |

The PR is mostly ready. The most recent CI run generated an appimage built under jammy (https://tmp.kiwix.org/ci/dev_preview/kiwix-desktop_jammy_appimage/kiwix-desktop_x86_64_2024-11-25.appimage) that is devoid of the issue reported in kiwix/kiwix-desktop#1219. The failure of the two CI runs under manylinux seems to be because of the change of the builder docker image tag from |

FYI, regarding the flatpak version of kiwix-desktop - it (https://tmp.kiwix.org/ci/dev_preview/kiwix-desktop_jammy_appimage/org.kiwix.desktop.2024-11-25.flatpak which was built under focal) works fine since a newer version of Qt is used in Flatpak. |
I cannot find where the manylinux version of the docker image is hosted. https://ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-build_ci_focal works, https://ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-build_ci_manylinux doesn't. |
This reverts commit dee57f1.
- Switched from linuxdeployqt to (linuxdeploy + linuxdeploy-plugin-qt) - Eliminated custom creation of the AppDir & most manual copying of some stuff into it (trusting linuxdeploy to do everything needed for the correct operation of the appimage). Note, however, that nss/ libs are no longer bundled with the appimage (libthai.so is forcefully bundled via a special option to linuxdeploy).
Next we are going to have some CI/CD jobs running on jammy instead of focal that's why the build platform for Linux jobs has to be made explicit.
Note that the tag of the kiwix-build CI builder docker image had to be changed to latest since the jammy version doesn't have the old tag.

@kelson42, again, don't look at the Upload failure logs output. The problem is always in previous steps. In this one, it's in the checkout one: |
