Use pre-releases for gz-sim8 to test gz-transport 13.2.0 #82

Closed iche033 closed 6 months ago

Out of curiosity and for future developments: what is the use case that requires to modify the yaml file here? To get green CI on Jenkins? To test a -ci-pr_any- manual build? Other?

after this PR is merged, my use case is to trigger a build in https://build.osrfoundation.org/job/gz_sim-ci-gz-sim8-jammy-amd64/ (which has started failing recently) to see we can get green CI back on Jenkins.

I see. My point here is what we need to modify to avoid setting this permanent change and allow this kind of change. My initial thought was to add a REPOS_TO_USE to https://build.osrfoundation.org/job/gz_sim-ci-pr_any-jammy-amd64 but that will change all packages to use the prerelease repository.

We can add a GZDEV_BRANCH to the -ci-pr_any- jobs so you can modify this repository in a branch and test a job directly from there without modifying the permanent configuration of all jobs.

yep that sounds like a good idea to avoid changing and reverting changes in this file after testing.
