Compare Source

sync: tar

A fourth way to share the workspace, available on every architecture
including riscv64 and powerpc64, where rsync and sshfs do not exist:

The workspace is streamed in as a ustar archive over the ssh connection the
action already opens, and streamed back the same way when the run finishes.
Nothing is installed in the guest and no filesystem support is needed on
either side, unlike sshfs and nfs. Verified before shipping: 300 files plus
a 1 MB binary blob pushed into a 15.1 guest, a file written inside it, the
whole tree pulled back and compared by content hash.

rsync remains the default. Reach for tar when the guest lacks rsync, or when
a mount-based method is more machinery than the job needs.

Under the hood

The image builder moves to freebsd-builder v2.2.6 and the runtime to anyvm
v0.6.4, nine releases on from what v1.5.3 shipped. Most of that is other
guests, but two fixes reach every action:

A failed folder sync used to be a warning. The run continued with the guest
missing the files it was about to use, which surfaced much later as a
confusing error or a job that sat until its timeout. It is now fatal, and
says so.

The workspace push no longer carries the runner's own harness directories
into the guest.

Also

The shell note no longer mentions usesh, which has not been needed for
some time.
