Hi,
As part of modernizing util/autoport to current Go idioms (patch on Gerrit), I
bumped the minimum Go version to 1.26.
This got me thinking about a broader usability improvement: right now anyone
wanting to use autoport to port a new board needs Go installed locally or do it
in another machine. This is the friction i want to remove.
My proposal is add a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers when util/autoport
is modified, builds a static Linux x86_64 binary, and publishes it as a GitHub
release. Contributors can then just download and run it without setting up a Go
toolchain. People who want to compile everything, still can.
Questions before going further:
- Is there appetite for this in the project?
- Can coreboot's GitHub mirror have Actions enabled, or would this need to
live elsewhere? (i know it only a mirror, but that could be enable exclusively
there for all the tooling (I could also see how to do it with jenkins).
Happy to implement the workflow if it
