ci: fix broken jobs on Ubuntu 25.10 caused by switch to sudo-rs(1)

2025-10-11T17:10:34Z

Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1). Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1) implementation to fix this.

CI fix. * jc/ci-print-test-failures-fix: ci: allow github-actions print test failures again

ci: allow github-actions print test failures again

2025-07-16T21:09:51Z

eab5dbab (ci: wire up Meson builds, 2024-12-13) added two instances of a very similar construct FAILED_TEST_ARTIFACTS=${TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY:-t}/failed-test-artifacts one to ci/lib.sh and the other to ci/print-test-failures.sh Unfortunately, the latter had a typo causing shell to emit "Bad substitution". Fix it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

clang-format: add 'RemoveBracesLLVM' to the main config

2025-07-02T16:05:29Z

In 1b8f306612 (ci/style-check: add `RemoveBracesLLVM` in CI job, 2024-07-23) we added 'RemoveBracesLLVM' to the CI job of running the clang formatter. This rule checks and warns against using braces on simple single-statement bodies of statements. Since we haven't had any issues regarding this rule, we can now move it into the main clang-format config and remove it from being CI exclusive.

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
