The job is now successful, this is ready for review. I'd still wait a little bit before merging, to see if there is any discussion on the issue.

build_ubuntu and build_ubuntu_installed have a lot of duplicate lines: ~60/66 are identical.

build.yml is getting too long, it's over 700 lines!

If we go for this, let's do them as reusable workflows:

• https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows

Examples:

• https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/.github/workflows/reusable-docs.yml
• https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/.github/workflows/wheels.yml
  • https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/.github/workflows/wheels-linux.yml
  • https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/.github/workflows/wheels-macos.yml

Possibly also build_ubuntu_ssltests.

Let's also consider the CI time.

This job is 26m, compared to 14m for the standard Ubuntu one. Plus we recently added 3 x CIFuzz which are 21-29m:

I noticed make test adds a couple options, I think that's why it takes less time.

./python -u -W default -bb -E -m test --fast-ci --timeout= --dont-add-python-opts

Let's try adding them to the new job.

Agreed. Do you want to implement that in this PR or in a followup one?

It would be good in this PR.
