Additionally, unnecessary ccache setup commands were being run that conflicted with flatpak-builder's internal ccache management. + +### Fix Applied + +**Changes Made**: +1. Updated cache path from `~/.ccache` to `.flatpak-builder/ccache` +2. Removed redundant ccache setup commands (`--set-config`, `--zero-stats`) +3. Added diagnostic output showing cache size and file count + +**Files Modified**: +- `.github/workflows/flatpak-build.yml` + +**Commits**: +- `c231da66` - Initial ccache path fix attempt +- `82f12a06` - Corrected cache path to workspace root +- `9177aa34` - Test empty commit to verify cache restoration + +### Performance Results + +| Build | Time | Cache Status | Cache Size | Files Cached | +|-------|------|--------------|------------|--------------| +| **First Build** (cache population) | 18m 10s | Cache miss → saved | 127 MB | 4,191 files | +| **Second Build** (with cache) | 11m 13s | **Cache hit** ✅ | 128 MB | 4,213 files | +| **Improvement** | **-38% faster** | Restored successfully | ~114 MB compressed | - | + +### Key Achievements + +1. ✅ **Cache Restoration Working**: "Cache hit for: Linux-flatpak-ccache-..." confirmed +2. ✅ **Significant Performance Gain**: 38% reduction in build time (18m → 11m) +3. ✅ **Efficient Caching**: 127-128 MB cache with 4,000+ object files +4. ✅ **Automatic Management**: flatpak-builder handles ccache internally via `/run/ccache/bin` + +### Technical Details + +- **Cache Location**: `.flatpak-builder/ccache/` (workspace root) +- **Cache Key**: Hash of C/C++ files, meson files, and flatpak JSON manifests +- **Compression**: zstd (119 MB → 114 MB compressed) +- **Cache Transfer**: ~58 MBs/sec restoration speed +- **Integration**: flatpak-builder uses `PATH="/run/ccache/bin:..."` automatically + +### Conclusion + +Flatpak ccache is now **fully functional** with 38% build time improvement on cache hits. This brings the Flatpak workflow in line with other workflows (Ubuntu, MSYS2) that already had working ccache integration. diff --git a/data/misc/io.github.Hexchat.appdata.xml.in b/data/misc/io.github.Hexchat.appdata.xml.in index 0d67a0b6e..dcbb253ca 100644 --- a/data/misc/io.github.Hexchat.appdata.xml.in +++ b/data/misc/io.github.Hexchat.appdata.xml.in @@ -1,5 +1,14 @@ - + + + + + + + + + + io.github.Hexchat HexChat io.github.Hexchat.desktop diff --git a/flatpak/io.github.Hexchat.json b/flatpak/io.github.Hexchat.json index 94cfb6c8e..ceecca5ac 100644 --- a/flatpak/io.github.Hexchat.json +++ b/flatpak/io.github.Hexchat.json @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ "app-id": "io.github.Hexchat", "branch": "stable", "runtime": "org.gnome.Platform", - "runtime-version": "40", + "runtime-version": "45", "sdk": "org.gnome.Sdk", "command": "hexchat", "finish-args": [ @@ -31,12 +31,43 @@ "shared-modules/gtk2/gtk2.json", "shared-modules/gtk2/gtk2-common-themes.json", "shared-modules/dbus-glib/dbus-glib.json", - "shared-modules/lua5.3/lua-5.3.5.json", - "shared-modules/libcanberra/libcanberra.json", + { + "name": "libcanberra", + "cleanup": [ + "*.la", + "/bin", + "/etc", + "/include", + "/libexec", + "/share/gtk-doc", + "/share/man" + ], + "config-opts": [ + "--disable-static", + "--disable-gtk-doc", + "--disable-oss", + "--enable-pulse", + "--disable-udev", + "--disable-gtk", + "--enable-gtk3", + "--disable-lynx" + ], + "sources": [ + { + "type": "archive", + "url": "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/libcanberra/0.30-10ubuntu10/libcanberra_0.30.orig.tar.xz", + "sha256": "c2b671e67e0c288a69fc33dc1b6f1b534d07882c2aceed37004bf48c601afa72" + } + ] + }, "python3-cffi.json", + "shared-modules/lua5.1/lua-5.1.5.json", { "name": "lgi", "buildsystem": "meson", + "config-opts": [ + "-Dlua-pc=lua51" + ], "sources": [ { "type": "git", @@ -52,7 +83,7 @@ "--buildtype=release", "-Ddbus-service-use-appid=true", "-Dwith-perl=false", - "-Dwith-lua=lua" + "-Dwith-lua=lua51" ], "build-options": { "cflags": "-Wno-error=missing-include-dirs" diff --git a/flatpak/shared-modules b/flatpak/shared-modules index 2c2f8fef2..ddd2f4dc6 160000 --- a/flatpak/shared-modules +++ b/flatpak/shared-modules @@ -1 +1 @@ -Subproject commit 2c2f8fef2e926ff03158c0b3341526cce1b405ac +Subproject commit ddd2f4dc63a46b9700aee8bddba2b17e4fd2d300 diff --git a/plugins/python/meson.build b/plugins/python/meson.build index f0a1e8d09..3aa02e9f7 100644 --- a/plugins/python/meson.build +++ b/plugins/python/meson.build @@ -2,12 +2,12 @@ python_opt = get_option('with-python') if python_opt.startswith('python3') # Python 3.8 introduced a new -embed variant if not python_opt.endswith('-embed') - python_dep = dependency(python_opt + '-embed', version: '>= 3.17', required: false) + python_dep = dependency(python_opt + '-embed', version: '>= 3.8', required: false) if not python_dep.found() - python_dep = dependency(python_opt, version: '>= 3.17') + python_dep = dependency(python_opt, version: '>= 3.8') endif else - python_dep = dependency(python_opt, version: '>= 3.17') + python_dep = dependency(python_opt, version: '>= 3.8') endif else python_dep = dependency(python_opt, version: '>= 2.7')
