In the pursuit of stability.
It is slower and QEMU-based, but if this isn't stable, I don't know what
will be.
Bump the timeout to 30 minutes, just in case. It seems to take 12-15
minutes to finish.
Since vmactions is basically a bootlooping disaster* with no signs of
life from upstream, let's try a different action instead and hope it
works better. We don't need to force the latest release channel, so
delete that part. Also make the pkg install just one command for
simplicity.

I won't even comment how terrible this option is and why in 2023 default
is not at least `autocrlf=input`.
Disable the conversion to CRLF. We build everything in MSYS2 sysroot,
which supports/expects LF. While the checkout itself is done with
actions/checkout@v3 and this causes problems.
Homebrew has finally given up supporting macOS 11, and all updated
dependencies are being built locally. Additionally, python3.12 - being
a dependency of libass in Homebrew - seems to completely fail under
cairo's meson usage on macOS 11, even if we let it build.
Thus, finally remove macOS 11 from our macOS build matrix, leaving
12 and 13.

Copy and pasted from commit msg lint obviously, but I forgot to rename
it. Oops. Capitalize the name field while I'm at it (seems like all the
other workflows do it too).
When someone purely changes some documentation or something similar,
there's no point in having the whole CI build go off. This also leads to
the bot spamming a comment linking to artifacts. This is only useful if
actual source code changes (i.e. so users can test if need). So just add
a path filter to blacklist directories we don't want to consider. If all
changed files match those directories then the CI won't run.
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.
