ci/mingw: remove cache #11728
Conversation
To avoid building against stale version of dependencies. In particular libplacebo is moving target and as we can see the build has been broken few times recently, so let the CI validate it for us. The time to build everything is under 30 minutes, which is acceptable in my opinion, not much longer than macos build.

Alternatively maybe we could incorporate a date into the cache key so that everything is automatically rebuilt every week. If you just want to quickly check something waiting 30m for mingw results can be quite annoying. |
I would like to have CI validate current status and flag PR before getting merged. So building current master, especially of libplacebo, but also ffmpeg is nice. Proper solution would probably to compute cache hash based on dependencies version/git hash that are currently built. So we can skip rebuilt if we are up to date and only do clone. But I'm not sure how to do it nicely. I have some idea, but it would require a lot of changes to make it work.
Agreed. fwiw, for quickly check other build should finish sooner. For me more annoying are sporadic failures... Either the macos build fails or msys2 due to msys2/MINGW-packages#11864 It is really like playing bowling, you need to have a little luck to get them all ;p |
It's easy to do the conditional caching for everything: https://github.com/actions/cache#creating-a-cache-key
