Usually installing Roswell, a lisp implementation and dependencies
take from 2 to 10 minutes. Multiply this to the number of
matrix combinations and you'll get signifficant time.
To speed up build, you can use caching using a standad GitHub action `actions/cache@v2`.
To make caching work, add such sections into your workflow file:
```yaml
- name: Grant All Perms to Make Cache Restoring Possible
run: |
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/roswell
sudo chown "${USER}" /usr/local/etc/roswell
# Here the ros binary will be restored:
sudo chown "${USER}" /usr/local/bin
- name: Get Current Month
id: current-month
run: |
echo "::set-output name=value::$(date -u "+%Y-%m")"
- name: Cache Roswell Setup
id: cache
uses: actions/cache@v2
env:
cache-name: cache-roswell
with:
path: |
/usr/local/bin/ros
~/.cache/common-lisp/
~/.roswell
/usr/local/etc/roswell
.qlot
key: "${{ steps.current-month.outputs.value }}-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('qlfile.lock') }}"
- name: Restore Path To Cached Files
run: |
echo $HOME/.roswell/bin >> $GITHUB_PATH
echo .qlot/bin >> $GITHUB_PATH
if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit == 'true'
- uses: 40ants/setup-lisp@test-cache
if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
```
There are two important lines here.
- The last line `if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'` skips
running lisp installation, it it was take from the cache.
- The `key` value:
```
key: "${{ steps.current-month.outputs.value }}-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('qlfile.lock') }}"
```
It controls when your cache will be matched. If you are using `matrix`, put all it's components
into the key.
I also added a current month there, to make sure cache will be renewed at least monthly.
This way a new Roswell, Qlot and ASDF will be used in a build.
