Python 3.11 will be released soon as default Python package, and
actually python3.11 package already disappeared from the repository.
This reverts commit c637beb522.
Can significantly reduce build time, most of dependencies have fixed
versions, so they can be cached fully. Others will be incrementally
build.
Cache is saved on every run and restored from the newest one. Size is
limited to 500M (compressed) to keep cache save/restore fast. Clean
cached build is little over 100M, so we have a headroom as things will
grow. ccache will automatically evict least recently used entries.
It is unlikely that clean build will exceed the limit anytime soon, but
it is something to keep in mind, as we do not want to evict cache
entries from current build, so the cache size need to be set correctly.
Remove waf entirely in favor of meson as the only supported build
system. Waf was officially deprecated in 0.36.0, and has not been
preferred over meson since 0.35.0.
To avoid building against stale version of dependencies. In particular
libplacebo is moving target and as we can see the build has been broken
few times recently, so let the CI validate it for us.
The time to build everything is under 30 minutes, which is acceptable in
my opinion, not much longer than macos build.
It turns out that you actually have to add failure() to each condition
otherwise a default status check of success() is applied (thanks
github). Looks redundant but whatever. Thanks to @kasper93 for actually
reading the documentation.
Instead of running the test directly in the build script, we can make a
separate step in the workflow so it looks a little prettier. For running
the actual tests, we skip mingw since they will never be run (cross
compiled). Additionally, improve the github workflow logic a bit so that
way logs on failure are only shown when that specific step fails. The
freebsd job still has to be less elegant since it's in a weird vm
thingy.
Not really related but the location of various build directories
(particularly waf) are corrected as well (might as well).
While the waf build has served us well for many years, it's time to
officially consider it deprecated. The meson build was added fully with
the intention to eventually replace waf and its current state is more
than good enough to do that. Let's start the deprecation period now to
give users a heads up to switch before we remove waf for good.
Workflow virtual machines have now been updated so that moby package
contains rule for the newly added syscalls, such as 'clone3'.
Effectively reverts 64fa440c69 .
This older image has been deprecated and will be removed in December.
The images have also already had planned outages during which the CI
flow has been affected. Thus it feels like a good idea to clean
this up at this point.

This was only needed because the mingw CI used to run on Ubuntu 20.04
which had a version of meson too old for mpv. This hasn't been the case
since we switched to 22.04 in f7164fcfac
and can now just use the package manager version.
Despite being run in a VM, the workflow actually copies the files back
to the host. We can then explictly print the error logs on failure in
their own separate section for visibility instead of it being hidden
within all the vm output.
Recently, git patched a CVE which makes it much more strict about
different users operating on directories they don't own. For us, this
causes breakage with version.sh and version.py since they both run a git
describe command to fetch the commit hash. Currently, this only affects
the tumbleweed container (likely because it was recently changed) and
thus the git describe command always errors out. Workaround this by just
explictly adding the mpv directory as a safe directory for git.
LuaJIT is still actively developed, but upstream is allergic to making
new releases for whatever reason. The last tagged release was in May of
2017, so we probably shouldn't expect a new release anytime soon. Now
for mpv, this doesn't really matter except in the case of macOS where
2.0.5 is actually a bit broken (and of course the CI uses luajit). More
specifically, the 2.0.5 pc is broken and has a "-pagezero_size 10000"
flag which causes libmpv to fail (only executables are allowed to use
this). This magically works on waf. It's possible that it just happens
to ignore the link arguments. However on the meson build, this is broken
and led to a really ugly hack using a partial dependency so both mpv and
libmpv succeed. Fortunately, the 2.1 luajit branch fixes this.
Unfortunately, there's no actual release.
Instead, just use Lua 5.1. Note that lua 5.1 is technically deprecated
in homebrew, but the chances of this going away is pretty slim since
everyone knows that new lua versions are not backwards compatible.
Anyways, using 5.1 works fine and lets us get rid of a terrible hack in
the meson build. People really shouldn't be using 2.0 LuaJIT anyway.
This define was always just a stopgap for that two month period (August
2021 - October 2021) where the bytes_read field in ffmpeg was completely
missing. Before that time, it was a private member in a struct (which
mpv used). Afterwards, it officially became public. Fortunately, the
lack of this field never actually made it into a release, so it could
have only possibly affected people building from the master branch.
Since ffmpeg 5.0 came out recently, and it's been plenty of months since
that two month window, we can go ahead and drop this check. This
finishes up the work done in 78cfeee2b9.
Sidenote: the cached ffmpeg version in the mingw ci were from that time
period when the bytes_read field was missing. The N in the workflow is
bumped to force a full rebuild and fresh clone of ffmpeg.
When this was originally added, some OS package managers were slow and
behind the required meson version needed for mpv to build. Both opensuse
tumbleweed and freebsd now appear to carry meson 0.60.3 in their repos
so we no longer need to do the two-step process of installing pip3 and
then installing meson via pip. Instead, just use the OS package manager
version.
Update the github workflows to also do meson builds for every OS.
Additionally, make every workflow execute the built mpv executable
(except for windows and FreeBSD's waf executable) to make sure that it
runs. As an aside, FreeBSD unfortunately is a bit less elegant since it
is in a VM.
