Build the rpms for EL9, EL10 and SUSE 16 and the debs for Ubuntu noble
and resolute, each for x86_64 and aarch64, install every set on a clean
container and publish them as a rolling nightly pre-release. Each
release asset is one target's bundle: all of its packages, repository
metadata and an INSTALL.txt.
Besides the in-tree components this packages confluent_ipxe from the
iPXE release roms and the browserfs and vinz helpers from their own
repositories. The osdeploy utils are built where buildrpm builds them,
el7 for the x86_64 el8bin set, so they still run on the oldest targets.
Genesis is left out for now.
Noarch packages are built once, in the x86_64 legs, and the aarch64 legs
build only what is architecture specific. Build tools are installed
without weak dependencies, while the smoke tests keep the distribution
defaults, since they stand in for a user's install.
Scheduled runs skip the build when neither confluent nor the helper
repositories moved since the last published nightly. Pull requests that
touch the packaging build and test without publishing.
