Add CI for new ubuntu-24.04 beta VM #700

Closed quark17 closed 6 months ago

quark17 commented 6 months ago

GitHub now provides an ubuntu-24.04 runner, in beta, so this adds that to the matrix for Ubuntu testing.

I've included a commit to remove macos-11 from the testing matrix, since the build is now failing due to exceeding the timeout. A combination of (1) that Homebrew no longer supports installing binary packages for macOS 11, so it had to compile from source; (2) that we added brew update to workaround an issue with GitHub's runners; and (3) that more packages have new versions since the macos-11 runner snapshot was made; means that the macos-11 runner is now exceeding the 90 minute timeout just in the "install dependencies" stage. We could increase the timeout, but that would be time spent in our CI each time it runs (and holding up other macOS jobs), so it's probably just time that we remove macos-11.

(The reason why so many packages are being installed is because we've run brew update before runing brew install for a large list of dependencies. We only needed update for the mactex package, so an option might be to run install for everything else, then run update, then install just for mactex -- which should greatly reduce the number of dependent packages that will get installed at newer versions. But it's probably not worth the time to experiment with it.)
