[8.4] ci: temporarily disable focal job in merge-queue and nightly flows (#954)#959
Conversation
) Launchpad's PPA infrastructure (ppa.launchpad.net / ppa.launchpadcontent.net) has been intermittently refusing connections for several days, breaking focal's install of gcc-11 from ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test which is required because focal needs gcc-11 for the SVS code path's C++20 features. Comment out the focal job in both event-merge-to-queue.yml and event-nightly.yml (and the corresponding entries in their respective needs: lists) so the merge queue and nightly notifier are not blocked by this upstream outage. focal.yml itself is untouched and remains manually-triggerable via workflow_dispatch. To be reverted once a durable solution (likely a pre-built CI image with gcc-11 baked in, removing the per-run Launchpad dependency) is in place. (cherry picked from commit fe17589)

Backport of #954 to
8.4.Auto-backport reported
Git push to origin failed for backport-954-to-8.4 with exitcode 1. The cherry-pick itself applies cleanly on8.4(workflow shape matchesmain); the failure was on the bot'sgit pushstep, almost certainly a permissions/branch-protection issue specific to the backport bot's GitHub App on the8.xbranches. A manual push as the PR author succeeds, so this PR is opened that way.Describe the changes in the pull request
Comment out the
focaljob (and itspr-validation.needs:entry) in bothevent-merge-to-queue.ymlandevent-nightly.yml, so the merge queue and nightly are no longer blocked by Ubuntu 20.04 CI failures caused by Canonical's PPA edge intermittently refusing connections.See #954 for the full root-cause analysis. Diff is identical to
main's (and to the0.6(#955),0.7(#956),0.8(#957),8.2backports modulo the workflow-shape differences).Which issues this PR fixes

Note
Low Risk
Low risk: changes are limited to GitHub Actions workflow orchestration, removing the Ubuntu 20.04 (
focal) CI leg from gating/notification dependencies.Overview
Temporarily disables Ubuntu 20.04 CI by commenting out the
focaljob inevent-merge-to-queue.ymlandevent-nightly.yml.Updates downstream dependency lists (
pr-validation.needsandnotify-on-failure.needs) to stop requiringfocal, and adds a TODO note to re-enable later.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9dffd43. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
