Аutomate Nightly - Release builds with GitHub actions

[daudix]

With GitHub actions we can generate nightly builds automaticly on pushes, this will help new users install the app without need in building it

I have started working on it in my fork, here you can test it and make changes: https://github.com/daudix-UFO/AdwCustomizer/actions

Little To-Do:

• Fix not working actions
• Fix locales not working
• Setup correct building environment
• Setup build of aarch64 version
• Automate Nightly versions on pushes
• Automate build of releases
• Generate release notes
• Publish releases on Flathub

Now for some reason build don't have any locales, but it works

Cool, but not really Flathub-friendly I believe. See <https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/App-Submission>

Hmm, I will learn about this and how can we make it

[daudix]

Here is info about this in flatpak-github-actions

I think that we can use https://github.com/marketplace/actions/automatic-releases

[daudix]

Looks like a solution for releases and release notes!

Instead of using your fork, you can create a branch on the repo and work on.

It will allow others contributors to contribute on the ci.

Use the branch ci

[daudix]

by the way, any idea why locales not work with ci build?

[0xMRTT]

No idea yet...

This explains everything, at least this is not ArtyIF problem

[0xMRTT]

I think that i know why locales doesn't work with ci. It's because locale are in separate package called com.github.AdwCustomizerTeam.AdwCustomizer.Locale

@daudix-UFO is the problem with locale always here with the news actions ?

[daudix]

Tested a hour ago, not worked

[daudix]

Possile solution for not working locales is generating flatpak bundle with a .Locale
