Migrate travis CI to github actions

[CGarces]

travis-ci.org will be shutting down and travis-ci.com not looks like a valid replacement.

Migrated automated CI to Github actions.

The build test all kerners at kernel.org and compile using the available GCC compiler on the last Ubuntu image provided by Github Actions.

What is the issue with travis-ci.com? From what I read, it is still free for open source projects.

By default public repositories are building against your credits.

As I read at:

https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-11-02-travis-ci-new-billing

"We will be offering an allotment of OSS minutes that will be reviewed and allocated on a case by case basis"

I'm not sure about the process the post at Travis blog not is clear to me, faq not helps

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/billing-faq/

Each of the Travis CI Plans can have an amount of special OSS credits per month assigned to run builds only on public repositories. To find out more about it please contact the Travis CI support team.

My current plan only provide 10000 Credits and not are renewed monthly, and 0 OSS credits. Not looks easy to get the OSS credits.

Unless someone clarify the status of Travis builds on public repositories I prefer start using Github Actions.

Off course this PR is not urgent you can keep it on hold.

Opps.

Works fine on Ubuntu 18.04.5 https://github.com/CGarces/rtl8192cu-fixes/actions/runs/436380312 But fails on Ubuntu 20.04.1 https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux/runs/1594787833?check_suite_focus=true

Package libssl1.0.0 is not installed.

If you merge this PR probably Github will use 20.04.1 for runs-on: ubuntu-latest

I'll check the error and set to 18.04 if I can't fix it. Please don't merge.

[CGarces]

Ready to merge.

The dependencies are different between kernels.

Depends: linux-headers-4.4.248-0404248, libc6 (>= 2.14), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) Depends: linux-headers-5.10.0-051000, libc6 (>= 2.14), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0), libelf1 (>= 0.142)

sudo dpkg --force-all -i *.deb allow to test the build of kernel 4.4 with libssl1.1 instead of libssl1.0.0.

Thanks!

I reverted the merge: it broke the build. See https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes/actions/runs/454741110. Can you fix and resubmit please?

[CGarces]

Hi @pvaret

The script itself, works. The problem is the .deb files used by the script.

See https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.11-rc1/

"amd64/build failed "

Note that Travis Ci builds will fail for 5.11-rc for the same reason so the revert will not fix any problem, just hide it (because travis build are not executed).

I'm trying to fix it adding code to test if both .deb files exists and skip the build. But not is working on a first approach.

Something like:

if [ -f "$ALL_DEB" -a -f "$ARCH_DEB" ]; then

See https://github.com/CGarces/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/actions/runs/451092173/workflow#L37

But always goes through the "else" part.

I'm sure that is some trivial error with the bash, but I don't have time to fix it now.

Opps, I was partially wrong, travis builds are executed (but https://travis-ci.org/ will be shut down)

See for example

https://travis-ci.org/github/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes/jobs/749151266#L226

It's trying to get the deb file from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.9.14/

And fails due the same problem "Test amd64/build failed", the .deb file not exist.
