CI run (successful): https://github.com/Igalia/wpe-android-cerbero/actions/runs/12997947975 This makes incremental builds have the chance of being considerably faster. Note how the arm64 build took ~26 minutes and the x86_64 build took under 2 minutes. This is because I triggered before another run and canceled the arm64 build after the x86_64 one completed. Then after I launched the run linked above, which was able to reuse the intermediate x86_64 build outputs, but the arm64 build was done from scratch. |
Given that builds use a self-hosted runner, that means it is possible to arrange certain directories to kept between runs: speed up the build by keeping the build directory (per architecture) and use ccache (the cache directory is also kept). Cerbero's cache invalidation handles rebuilding packages as needed when source build recipes change.
