Workflow update

[bogatykh]

Do we need 18.04 Ubuntu to build OpenJDK?

We did when I originally put this together. The Lenny distro uses syscalls not available in later kernel versions, if I remember.

You'll have to make sure the cache is expired, or it won't even try building, though. The IKVM.yml line for the name of the cache has a number at the end that you can incremement.

OK I will check it out. Anyway we will have to figure out what to do with it due to depreciation At least we need to update github actions to latest versions, this looks safe to me.

Yeah the versions are fine.

Gotta get the JDK upgraded. But it's such a slow process. The latest jdk8 builds fine.

@wasabii looks like intermittent failure of unit test Can_use_selector_to_answer_client_requests. Can we rerun workflow?

[wasabii]

@bogatykh You'll have to make that another commit to expire the OpenJDK build cache. Else we don't know whether it actually builds.

I have it cached because it takes a significant amount of time, and it's not like we ever change it.

@wasabii you may delete cached entry from web with write permissions (I don't have them). Take a look: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#deleting-cache-entries

I can make commit later to expire cache if above instructions won't work for you.

You'll need to do it in your branch to generate a new cache entry for your branch (encapsulating your changes).

Never done that. Can you please verify my last commit?

[wasabii]

All that said, the latest Ubuntu does appear to work. Good news.
