Description
Your Environment
- Operating System and version: All CI
Context
Currently, each CI is single stage, completely independent of each other.
Expected Behavior
Splitting CI into stages will allow:
- Better diagnostics: pipeline A failed at stage: build or test
- More free time:
- sometimes jobs fail formatting, but continue consuming the CI time for build+test. This will be done again after formatting is fixed.
- tutorials are built in parallel, leading to double compilation of base library
- More flexibility: addition of API/ABI breakage will be easier
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's CI configuration and mapping the existing independent jobs for formatting, build, tests, and tutorials. Define the stages and their dependencies so failures identify the affected stage and later work is not repeated unnecessarily. Done means the CI runs as staged pipelines with the listed diagnostic, time-saving, and flexibility benefits.
