Description

I create a workflow:

  • build mingw pack
  • build harbour compiler
  • build libraries

But I would like separated process.
I do not need allways to create the mingw pack, nor the build compiler.
I would like to use the artifact created a month ago, without recreate it on each execution.
Is this possible?

Note:
to build harbour need the mingw - I create a artifact with them
to build libraries need harbour + mingw - I create a artifact with them
there are 4 libraries.
I do not found how to create a artifact or anything else to be used during all month, as example, but with the possibility to use this artifact allways that need it.

Each one is a separated project, but I download all to workflow.
Could be a workflow using the artifact from another project workflow.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying how artifacts from separate workflows or repositories should be retained and reused, including the month-long lifetime described. Done would be a documented or implemented workflow for reusing the MinGW, compiler, and library artifacts without rebuilding them each time.
