CentOS Linux 8 is long gone. We were only running tests on this old
build environment, to see how we fare in such environment.
The test was broken for 4+ months. Instead of fixing it, disable it.
It's partly caused by RHEL8, as it is somewhat cumbersome to even build
on CentOS 8. That's because some devel packages (like libteam-devel) are
not installable. As workaround for that, we re-build such packages in a
copr ([1]). The problem is, that we only have one copr build for e.g.
CentOS 8. If we rebuild against latest CentOS 8 Stream, then libteam is
build against newer dependencies, which are not installable on CentOS
Linux 8.1.1911 (etc). We would have to build libteam in a way, that
does not drag newer dependencies that are missing on CentOS Linux 8.
For example, trying to use copr [1] on CentOS Linux 8 and installing
"teamd" gives:
Error:
Problem: package teamd-devel-1.31-4.el8.x86_64 requires teamd = 1.31-4.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides libjansson.so.4(libjansson.so.4)(64bit) needed by teamd-1.31-4.el8.x86_64
This could be hacked around, for example by having libteamd-devel not
depend on any teamd package. Instead, just drop it. It's gone.
Arguable, CentOS 8 Stream should be reasonably close (in terms of
versions of gcc, glibc, glib) so we don't miss too much.

.gitlab-ci
We run tests in the gitlab-ci pipeline at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/pipelines
This directory contains a template for generating .gitlab-ci.yml.
It uses ci-templates project.
To get the right version of ci-templates, see the "Regenerate with" comment in
.gitlab-ci.yml. It shows how to install ci-fairy via
python pip. The exact version to be used is hard-coded as .templates_sha
variable in ci.template file.
Whenever changing relevant files, .gitlab-ci.yml must be regenerated.
Regenerate the yml by running ci-fairy generate-template.
There are also tests for checking that the yml is correct:
- run
tools/check-gitlab-ci.sh - run
make check-local-gitlab-ci, which runs 1). This also runs as part ofmake check.
In both cases, the test is skipped if ci-fairy is not in the path.
Install the correct ci-fairy version.
In gitlab-ci pipeline, the "check-tree" test also checks that .gitlab-ci.yml is up to date.
