Gregory's Serveroh sweet beezus. The setup-python github action checks if you're on linux, and then if you are, it checks if you're on 18.04, 20.04, 22.04.
So, you know, if you run any linux that's not named "*buntu", it will completely fail to work

I imagine this problem happens because 95% of github actions users are using the hosted runners (which are ubuntu if you pick linux) and for the 5% who use self-hosted runners, 95% of them use ubuntu computers were a mistake. I tried removing the "setup python" setup (figuring just having a working python installed already should be good) but then the next step fails because it can't find "python", since the binary is named "python3", and they're not symlinked together, but setup-python fixes this I'm just gonna patch lsb_release so that it says I'm on "Mozilla Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye), like Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS" fun fact: that's three different languages. four if you count the cmd.exe shell I think I'm gonna rethink our "move CI stuff to github actions" plans. This one annoyance is proving so hard to fix properly that I'm thinking it'll just be less work to go back to Jenkins so I got it "working" on github actions. and it ran for 26 minutes |
I'm using fucking debian here! it's basically the same thing as ubuntu, but since the version name is wrong, NOPE
