Stop using Ubuntu 18.04 #23

Closed Adjective-Object closed 11 months ago

Adjective-Object commented 1 year ago

Ubuntu 18.04 is EOL next April. https://computing.cs.cmu.edu/news/2022/eol-ubuntu-1804

This is a footgun waiting to happen, the pipeline will start to spontaneously fail on April 4th of next year.

We can instead try to statically link against musl instead of dynamically linking glibc. Someone else had already documented the approach: ttps://kobzol.github.io/rust/ci/2021/05/07/building-rust-binaries-in-ci-that-work-with-older-glibc.html

Filing this so it doesn't get forgotten, I'm fine to concentrate on shipping for now. But this needs to get fixed before early next year.

Related to #19

After looking for some way to fix this found this https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/discussions/306

After testing on my local seems that using linux-musl instead of gnu as target works fine for ubuntu 18 and newer, all compiled from ubuntu-latest.

Basically, changing the target platform for a non-gnu one, makes the program not depend on glibc
