Consider releasing planck jammy binaries to ppa:mfikes/planck

[lread]

Problem

GitHub Actions has upgraded its default ubuntu image to 22.04.1 (aka jammy jellyfish).

The very convenient repository set up for planck does not yet have a binary for jammy.

This means that folks who install planck via this rpm repository will now experience failures.

Work-arounds

1. Folks can build their own planck binaries for Ubuntu
2. Or pin Ubuntu in GitHub Actions to 20.04

Offer of help

If continuing to release Ubuntu libraries to your package repo is still of interest to you, I am happy to help in any way that makes sense to you.

Work-around 3

Use Ubuntu focal planck binaries on Ubuntu jammy.

I'm not sure how awful this is but here is my hack for rewrite-clj CI tests under GitHub Actions.

I'll work on getting a new release build out for jammy.

Thanks @mfikes, I was snooping around the Internet to learn how others build and package binaries on CI.

I think Contour produces a nice set of artifacts, and they automate it.

I can take a swing at this for planck, if you have an interest.
I don't know that we need the debug versions, but we could use the Contour list as a starting point and decide what artifacts to produce.

This could maybe selectively replace your current vagrant based build-envs.

Countour also makes use of cpack, which is part of cmake, which is all new to me but also kinda interesting.

@mfikes I am fully aware that a gift is also a burden and am totally cool if you aren't interested in this kind of thing for planck.

Lemme know.
