This creates a GHA workflow which runs at 8am every day, and runs mypy, trial and sytest against Twisted's current trunk. If any of the jobs fail, it opens an issue.
A few things here:
* Build the debs for single distro for each PR, so that we can see if it breaks. Do the same for develop. Building all the debs ties up the GHA workers for ages.
* Stop building the debs for release branches. Again, it takes ages, and I don't think anyone is actually going to stop and look at them. We'll know they are working when we make an RC.
* Change the configs so that if we manually cancel a workflow, it actually does something.
Currently when a new build of the docs is created, an `index.html` file does not exist. Typically this would be generated from a`docs/README.md` file - which we have - however we're currently using [docs/README.md](394673055d/docs/README.md) to explain the docs and point to the website. It is not part of the content of the website. So we end up not having an `index.html` file, which will result in a 404 page if one tries to navigate to `https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/<docs_version>/index.html`.
This isn't a really problem for the default version of the documentation (currently `develop`), as [navigating to the top-level root](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/) of the website (without specifying a version) will [redirect](a77e6925f2/index.html (L2)) you to the Welcome and Overview page of the `develop` docs version.
However, ideally once we add a GUI for switching between versions, we'll want to send the user to `matrix-org.github.io/synapse/<version>/index.html`, which currently isn't generated.
This PR modifies the CI that builds the docs to simply copy the rendered [Welcome & Overview page](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/welcome_and_overview.html) to `index.html`.
This PR will run a new "Deploy release-specific documentation" job whenever a push to a branch name matching `release-v*` occurs. Doing so will create/add to a folder named `vX.Y` on the `gh-pages` branch. Doing so will allow us to build up `major.minor` releases of the docs as we release Synapse.
This is especially useful for having a mechanism for keeping around documentation of old/removed features (for those running older versions of Synapse), without needing to clutter the latest copy of the docs.
After a [discussion](https://matrix.to/#/!XaqDhxuTIlvldquJaV:matrix.org/$rKmkBmQle8OwTlGcoyu0BkcWXdnHW3_oap8BMgclwIY?via=matrix.org&via=vector.modular.im&via=envs.net) in #synapse-dev, we wanted to use tags to trigger the documentation deployments, which I agreed with. However, I soon realised that the bash-foo required to turn a tag of `v1.2.3rc1` into `1.2` was a lot more complex than the branch's `release-v1.2`. So, I've gone with the latter for simplicity.
In the future we'll have some UI on the website to switch between versions, but for now you can simply just change 'develop' to 'v1.2' in the URL.
This implements similar behavior to sytest where a matching branch is used,
if one exists. This is useful when needing to modify both application code
and tests at the same time. The following rules are used to find a matching
complement branch:
1. Search for the branch name of the pull request. (E.g. feature/foo.)
2. Search for the base branch of the pull request. (E.g. develop or release-vX.Y.)
3. Search for the reference branch of the commit. (E.g. master or release-vX.Y.)
4. Fallback to 'master', the default complement branch name.
This PR updates the build tags that we perform Complement runs with to match our [buildkite pipeline](618b3e90bc/synapse/pipeline.yml (L570)), as well as adding `msc2403` (as it will be required once #9359 is merged). Build tags are what we use to determine which tests to run in Complement (really it determines which test files are compiled into the final binary).
I haven't put in a comment about updating the buildkite side here, as we've decided to migrate fully to GitHub Actions anyhow.
