ci: split distro-qemu into build-initramfs + run-qemu jobs#241
Merged
Conversation
Split the monolithic build-and-run.sh into two scripts: - build-initramfs.sh: builds test binaries, downloads parcagpu, creates debootstrap rootfs, and packs the initramfs (once per arch) - run-qemu.sh: boots a kernel with the pre-built initramfs in QEMU In CI, a new build-distro-qemu-initramfs job runs once per arch on native runners (no cross-compilation needed), uploads the initramfs as an artifact, and the per-kernel distro-qemu-tests jobs download it. This eliminates redundant Go compilation, debootstrap, and parcagpu downloads across 10 amd64 + 4 arm64 kernel matrix entries. The run jobs now only need QEMU installed. build-and-run.sh remains as a thin wrapper for local development. Tested locally: build-initramfs.sh + run-qemu.sh pass on 6.6.31.
