    Cirrus CI will be capping the free compute soon. For now, switch more tasks to persistent worker, as recommended by Cirrus CI.

    (See slightly related discussion in #28098)

  44. ci: Switch remaining tasks to self-hosted
    This allows to drop unused templates, such as
cirrus_ephemeral_worker_template_env, or container_depends_template.

Also, ccache_cache, previous_releases_cache, and
base_depends_built_cache can be dropped, because the caching is done in
container volumes on the self-hosted runners.

  45. ci: Remove distro-name from task name
    The exact distro name should not be important. Also, it is easy to find
out, if needed. Thus, remove it to avoid bloat and maintenance overhead
having to keep it in sync.

    Questions:

    Is Win64 native still running on cirrus? The code changes look like it shouldnt be but it has a warning:

    Monthly free compute limit exceeded and will be limited next month!

    The MSan task took 2.5 hours! yow. Is the bottleneck there just hardware?

    Yes, sorry for the confusion. This is only about Linux. I've adjusted the title. There is another pull about the msvc on Windows.

    On the first run it will build llvm/clang/msan + depends + Bitcoin Core on a fresh cache. See also the comment in the cirrus yaml.

  63. maflcko commented at 10:35 AM on August 23, 2023: member

    I wonder why the hit rate is non-zero. On the first run, the cache is empty, obviously. Maybe a leftover ccache from a previous push to this pull request?

    Can you please re-run all Cirrus jobs to test caching facilities?

  65. maflcko commented at 10:51 AM on August 23, 2023: member

    Can you please re-run all Cirrus jobs to test caching facilities?

    There are multiple workers per label type and multiple tasks using the same label type. Thus, it will take many re-runs to populate the initial cache on all workers.

  66. maflcko commented at 10:52 AM on August 23, 2023: member

    I could limit the label type to each task, but that would be micro-managment. And free resources on one label type can not be used on another label type.

    Fair enough. We can observe caching quality in-progress later.

    Sounds like we need to increase CCACHE_MAXSIZE to cope such a usage, no?

  69. maflcko commented at 11:02 AM on August 23, 2023: member

    Why? Each task has its own name (space). The CI is now doing exactly what happens when you run the CI locally.

    IIUC, multiple tasks share the same CCACHE_DIR. If they use different compilers or different compiler flags, they need more space to do not purge cached items from another task, no?

    No, and as I said this is unrelated to the changes here. If there is a bug in the CI system when running locally, it should be fixed separately, not as part of this pull.

    It would be good to switch the mirror URL to something that supports ipv6 and is maintained. Hint: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17704

    Apart from the blob missing, this seems to be an odd issue, because it works outside of podman and inside podman, any other site works as well:
