Preliminary continuous integration support for Codeberg

Preliminary continuous integration support for Codeberg

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello there!

You might remember that the starting point of the whole Guix-Science
migration was an aspiration for CI: being able to build stuff from pull
requests before they’re merged¹.

Romain has now implemented Forgejo support in Cuirass² (Forgejo is the
software behind Codeberg) and we deployed it³ earlier today at
https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr — we like to live on the bleeding edge.

The good news is that guix.bordeaux.inria.fr has already had its first
jobsets created from pull requests! 🥳  In the Codeberg web interface,
all we had to do was to configure webhooks in the project settings
(those of guix-science/guix-science{,-nonfree}).

Currently there’s no feedback from Cuirass to Forgejo; doing that would
be the next step.  For gitlab.inria.fr, Romain came up with a crude but
helpful bot⁴ that polls Cuirass and posts messages to the relevant pull
requests; to do that, it’s disguised as a GitLab-CI pipeline⁵ whose
success indicates that the pull request can be merged.  A bit of a Rube
Goldberg machine, yet probably a good source of inspiration for the next
step.

Thoughts, ideas, and feedback welcome!

Ludo’.

Is my understanding correct that in order for a third-party channel to
make use of this, one needs to first configure a cuirass instance that's
aware of it?

Relatedly, is there an OCI container image with Guix installed that's
published on a registry such that it can be used within something like
Woodpecker-CI?

Yes.  This setup is specific to channels under the Guix-Science
umbrella; it can be replicated, but you’d need to set up a Cuirass
instance.

Not that I know of, unfortunately.  I tried to do that for GitLab-CI and
failed: <https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2024-02/msg00066.html>.

<https://gitlab.com/daym/guix-on-docker/> might be a good start.

I’m a regular and happy user of sourcehut’s guix image, in case it helps.

Would this be the Guix System image mentioned here:

Yes, exactly. An example log, you can see what a manifest looks like to the left:
