Since we already run this on every push we don't need to run it as a
cron job every week for no reason. While we are touching this code
block, we convert it to on: [push, pull_request] since the previous
format felt weird. It was only written that way because we had the
cron job declared there.
This is a fine solution short-term until github implements the
yaml anchors support. The limitation of this method is that we
cannot re-use most of the steps again for production install test
builds.
Thanks, Anders for this solution.
Verifying everything is migrated correctly is a pain. This script
ensures everything is done correctly (previous commit message
contains explainations for the steps being ignored if; in case
of github-actions steps they are ignored because they are actions
specific):
"""
This script prints out the ignore steps first. Then
prints out each step of both circle and actions side-by-side.
One step is out of order for bionic but verfying correction is
still easier. Format:
Actions: Install dependencies
Circle CI: install dependencies

Some noteable diffrence from circleci:
- We upgrade git to newer version (reason explained in comments)
- We set HOME to /home/github (also explained in comments)
- Adjust permissions (... comments)
- Minor changes to step names and cache keys.
- We don't need to port the save_cache steps they are done
automatically in actions. And, we did not port the
store_test_results step which is circleci specific.
- We didn't port the notify_failure step yet (see the TODO).
This file was generated by GitHub's code analysis tutorial; we were
just approved from their waitlist.
I deleted the part to run compilers as it is not relevant for us.
