Update TriBITS GitHub Actions builds 2022-12

[bartlettroscoe]

Description

The current set of TriBITS GitHub Actions builds are:

• 1) CMake 3.17.5, makefiles, Python 2.7, gcc-8, g++8, gfortran-8
• 2) CMake 3.17.5, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-10, g++10, gfortran-10
• 3) CMake 3.17.5, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-11, g++11,
• 4) CMake 3.21.2, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-9 g++9, gfortran-9, no_have_ninja: no-ninja
• 5) CMake 3.23.1, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-9, g++9, gfortran-9

The TriBITS GitHub Actions builds need to be updated for the following reasons:

• a) A shown here, the gcc-8 build starting failing on Friday, 12/2/2022 by failing to install the gcc-8 package (see error message here).

• b) TriBITS will be upgrading the minimum version of CMake to 3.22.0 (see Upgrade CMake to most current version possible for Trilinos 14.0 trilinos/Trilinos#10355) (and all Trilinos PR and MM testing is using CMake 3.22+)

• c) TriBITS should be tracking the newest CMake version when it comes out

• d) There are newer versions of gcc that can and should be tested (GCC 12)

Note that we might also consider dropping testing for Python 2.7 but I think unless we loose support for installing Python 2.7 and as long as RHEL7 exists at SNL, it seems smart to keep Python 2.7 support.

Initial Proposed Updated GitHub Actions Builds

Considering all of this, here are the updated proposed set of builds

• 1) CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 2.7, gcc-9, g++9, gfortran-9
• 2) CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-10, g++10, gfortran-10
• 3) CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-11, g++11
• 4) CMake 3.23.1, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-9, g++9, gfortran-9, no_have_ninja: no-ninja
• 5) CMake 3.25.1, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-12, g++12 gfortran-12

That should cover things pretty well.

Proposed Updated GitHub Actions Builds 2

Given that Python 2.7 seems to no longer be supported, we can drop that build to give:

• 1) CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-10, g++10, gfortran-10
• 2) CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-11, g++11
• 3) CMake 3.23.1, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-9, g++9, gfortran-9, no_have_ninja: no-ninja
• 4) CMake 3.25.1, makefiles, Python 3.8, gcc-12, g++12 gfortran-12

Tasks

• Create branch and PR (Update TriBITS GitHub Actions builds 2022-12 (#543) #544) with updated set of builds and get to pass ... IN PROGRESS ...
• Change the set of required builds to match new set of required builds
• Merge PR (Update TriBITS GitHub Actions builds 2022-12 (#543) #544)
• Observe new sets of builds running in a new PR

Well, it looks like Python 2.7 is no longer available as shown by the new build CMake 3.22.4, makefiles, Python 2.7, gcc-9, g++9, gfortran-9 showing:

Run actions/setup-python@v2
Version 2.7 was not found in the local cache
Error: Version 2.7 with arch x[6](https://github.com/TriBITSPub/TriBITS/actions/runs/3621774657/jobs/6105637961#step:7:7)4 not found
The list of all available versions can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json

Therefore, I will need to drop the Python 2.7 build. So it looks like we no longer have testing with Python 2.7 on GitHub Actions!

The recently tested and merged PRs #546 and #549 show the updated GitHub Actions builds are working as they should. Closing this Issue as complete.
