Update workflow to address Linux compatibility. - #109
Merged
Conversation
Original workflow used the GitHub runner with ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) and GLIBC 2.38 to build the binary Linux packages. This was not compatible with Linux distributions that have an older version of GLIBC. Building in an AlmaLinux 8 container (GLIBC 2.28) ensures compatibility with older GLIBC versions and broadest compatibility with Linux distributions.

Can we please add some public documentation about the version of GLIBC we are targeting? |

Not sure where public documentation of the targeted GLIBC would go, any suggestions? It is documented in the workflow file ("Build the Linux binary inside an AlmaLinux 8 container so that the resulting shared library only requires GLIBC >= 2.28"). |

I think placing this information in the release page is the closest option we currently have. You could also consider, separating out the release note page template into a separate file. |
Move the release message from the workflow to a separate markdown file and include information on GLIBC and linux versions compatibility.

Included the GLIBC compatibility information in the release notes markdown and moved it from the workflow file to a separate markdown. |
