ci: fix aggregation of test results with Meson

2025-05-05T21:19:10Z

Our CI needs to be aware of the location of the test output directory so that it knows where to find test results. Some of our CI jobs achieve this by setting the `TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` environment variable, which ensures that the output will be written to that directory. Other jobs, especially on GitHub Workflows, don't set that environment variable and instead expect test results to be located in the source directory in "t/". The latter logic does not work with Meson though, as the test results are not written into the source directory by default, but instead into the build directory. As such, any job that uses Meson without setting the environment variable will be unable to locate and aggregate results. Fix this by explicitly setting the test output directory when we set up the Meson build directory. Like this, we can easily default to "t/" in the source directory when the value hasn't been set explicitly.

ci: stop linking the `prove` cache

2025-05-05T21:15:19Z

It is not useful because we do not have any persisted directory anymore, not since dropping our Travis CI support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ci: download JGit from maven, not eclipse.org

2025-04-25T15:39:05Z

As Matthias Sohn, JGit maintainer, recommends, update the JGit download link from repo.eclipse.org to a one in maven.org Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ci: update the message for unavailble third-party software

2025-04-25T15:39:05Z

An earlier fix added an extra message immediately after failing to download a third-party package. But near the end of the script, their availability is checked again and given a message. Remove the new ones added with a recent fix, as they are redundant. If we were to add more places to download these software (e.g. for other platforms we currently do not download them on), the existing warnning near the end of the script will also trigger. While at it, as Dscho suggests, rewrite the WARNING: label on the warning message to ::warning::, which presumably should be shown a bit more prominently in the CI summary.

Make sure outage of third-party sites that supply P4, Git-LFS, and JGit we use for testing would not prevent our CI jobs from running at all. * jc/ci-skip-unavailable-external-software: ci: skip unavailable external software
