[libvirt PATCH v2] ci: Shuffle builds between Debian 10 and Debian sid

Debian sid is currently broken on mips64el and s390x, so use Debian 10 for those specific builds and move other architectures (armv7l and ppc64le) from Debian 10 to Debian sid to maintain the rough 1:1 split. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> --- Test pipeline: https://gitlab.com/abologna/libvirt/-/pipelines/355069168 Still running, but all Debian builds have already completed successfully. Changes from [v1]: * also swap s390x and ppc64le.

sid, just like Rawhide and Tumbleweed, will break from time to time. This is something that's simply inevitable because they're such fast moving targets. The upside is that we also get to catch actual failures ahead of time. If the price to pay is that we have to shuffle a couple of jobs around once every few months (last time was in February, and the previous one was last June) I'd say the benefit greatly outweighs the cost. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

Yes, and we accept that. As of commit 42f3ec750027ee55c8f98a487cc0f183dd9b429d rawhide container builds are optional. It might not be a good first impression for people who freshly cloned the repo, but neither is them not getting FreeBSD coverage.

The cost is also decreased signal-to-noise ratio, which reduces the contributors' faith in CI and makes it more likely for actual bugs to slip in. Also, to me, not all jobs are equally important. Knowing whether the build passed for mingw and there are no unused variables left for clang to find is more important than yet another cross build for Linux. But if you're willing to reroll the dice in a few months time and make yet another version of this patch: Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> </thread> Jano
