This adopts release-please to manage releases and changelogs, similar to
other shaka-project repos.
All release workflows can be run by forks by configuring repo secrets.
See docs in .github/workflows/ for details.
- Use release-please for releases, changelogs
- Convert publication jobs (docs, docker, npm) into reusable workflows
- Update workflow documentation
- Modernize docker commands
- Fix doc permissions for publication
- Update artifact handling in build workflow
- Fix paths in Dockerfile
- Fix paths and arm64 support in NPM package
- Fix install paths for PSSH tools
- Fix warnings in NPM & Docker actions
- Delete custom changelog tooling
The hack of using "secrets" to store per-repo settings was not working.
The main reason is that pull_request workflows don't have access to
secrets no matter what you do. So it was impossible to make this work
for settings like "ENABLE_SELF_HOSTED" for PR tests.
This change replaces that old hack with a new one. Now a repo owner must
create a "GitHub Environment" with the name of the setting they want to
enable. Currently supported values are "self_hosted", to add self-hosted
runners to the build/test matrix, and "debug", to start an SSH server
for debugging when a workflow fails.
Issue #1047 (CMake porting)
The docs build in GitHub Actions broke with the release of jinja 3.1,
which introduced a breaking change that broke the cloud_sptheme sphinx
extension in use by our docs. That extension is not maintained any more,
so there will be no upstream fix. See also
https://foss.heptapod.net/doc-utils/cloud_sptheme/-/issues/47
That extension adds support for table styling (see
https://cloud-sptheme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lib/cloud_sptheme.ext.table_styling.html),
but we only appear to have one table in the docs currently
(docs/source/options/segment_template_formatting.rst) and it does not
use the options added by the cloud_sptheme extension.
Therefore the best fix for GitHub Actions and any other system running
jinja 3.1 is to remove that extension from our config.
There are a lot of changes in this first phase, because there was a
lot of infrastructure required to get some meaningful amount of
porting done. Future PRs should be simpler.
<b>Summary of changes:</b><details>

- nlohmann::json (for tests only)
- Submodules, updates, and CMake build rules for third-party
libraries:
