Fix global-db build scripts and add them to CI #476

Closed snowleopard closed 6 years ago

snowleopard commented 6 years ago

As discovered in #465 by @k-bx the build scripts build.global-db.* got out of date and are broken. We do not test them regularly in CI which makes it difficult to keep them up-to-date.

I wanted to do a quick fix but it turned out that it's not straightforward. After #395, Hadrian's built is a bit complicated so I've set up this issue to figure out the right command line.

@snowleopard I think this could be a nice addition to the list of deliverables in GSoC. Should I consider adding this as well to my proposal? Or it has relatively low priority.

I'd say this is relatively low-priority.

The build scripts relying on the global database appear to be no longer used, so I removed them in #668.
