OpenWrt GitHub Action SDK

GitHub CI action to build packages via SDK using official OpenWrt SDK Docker containers. This is primary used to test build OpenWrt repositories but can also be used for downstream projects maintaining their own package repositories.

Example usage

The following YAML code can be used to build all packages of a repository and store created ipk files as artifacts.

name: Test Build

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  build:
    name: ${{ matrix.arch }} build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        arch:
          - x86_64
          - mips_24kc

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Build
        uses: openwrt/gh-action-sdk@composite
        env:
          ARCH: ${{ matrix.arch }}

      - name: Store packages
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: ${{ matrix.arch}}-packages
          path: bin/packages/${{ matrix.arch }}/packages/*.ipk

• CONTAINER can set other SDK containers than openwrt/sdk.
• EXTRA_FEEDS are added to the feeds.conf, where | are replaced by white spaces.
• FEEDNAME used in the created feeds.conf for the current repo. Defaults to action.
• IGNORE_ERRORS can ignore failing packages builds.
• KEY_BUILD can be a private Signify/usign key to sign the packages feed.
• NO_DEFAULT_FEEDS disable adding the default SDK feeds
• NO_REFRESH_CHECK disable check if patches need a refresh.
• NO_SHFMT_CHECK disable check if init files are formated
