Problem: Commits backport-merged to release branches are cherry-picked
from the original commits in the PR from a fork repository, NOT the
actual commit that are merged to neovim/neovim (HEAD). Therefore the
commit reference in the commit message `cherry picked from commit ...`
usually refers to a commit that does NOT exist in the repository,
given that our preferred way of merging PR (rebasing, squashing, etc.)
would rewrite commits.
Solution: Turn on new feature 'detect_merge_method' of backport-action
workflow.
The releases doesn't work on intel mac as libintl isn't available on the system
by default. This makes `:language` not work for the shipped macos releases,
though the reduction in build system complexity most likely outweighs that.
All releases that aren't directly maintained by us should live in the
`neovim/neovim-releases` repository to make it clear that neovim isn't
directly responsible for it and to correctly manage expectations that
it's provided on a best-effort case.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/26717.
The benefits are primarily being able to use FetchContent, which allows
for a more flexible dependency handling. Other various quality-of-life
features such as `-B` and `-S` flags are also included.
This also removes broken `--version` generation as it does not work for
version 3.10 and 3.11 due to the `JOIN` generator expression.

Notable changes:
- Downloads are significantly faster, upwards of 90% improvement in worst case
scenarios.
- Artifacts can be downloaded from other workflow runs and repositories when
supplied with a PAT.
Problem: No tests for the termdebug plugin

Python3 provider tests suddenly became extremely flaky on macos for
unknown reasons. For some reason, installing python with the
setup-python action over using the default python fixes the flakiness.
Use this workaround for the time being to unblock CI while we figure out
the root cause.
- silence false warnings on MSVC
- merge `clang-tidy` cmake target into `lintc` and remove the
corresponding make target
- use cmake's built-in endianness detection
In cases where the generated files depend on changes to Nvim itself,
generating the files with an older version of Nvim will fail because
those changes are not present in the older version.
For example, if a new option is added then the generator script should
be run with the version of Nvim that contains the new option, or else
the generation will fail.

These are meant for expensive or situational tests that may not be
suitable to run each time, but can occasionally be useful.
Currently only add testing for s390x. The job is enabled by adding the
ci-s390x label in github.
This will run the three test suites (unit, functional and old) in
parallel, meaning that neovim is built for each test and run separately.
This has a slight increase in total CI usage, but it allows rerunning
only the specific test suite that failed for flaky tests, which will
save some time.
Ideally we'd remove any drawbacks by building neovim once and reusing it
for each test suite, but that is not currently possible due to poor
upload/download speeds of the upload-artifact and download-artifact
actions. This has been addressed in
https://github.com/actions/toolkit/pull/1488, but will only be made
available in upload-artifact@v4 and download-artifact@v4.
This adds the checks in https://neovim.io/doc/reports/clang/ when using
clang-tidy. The strategy is to enable all clang-analyzer checks, and
disable only the checks for the warnings that exist currently. This
allows us to eliminate each warning type without blocking ongoing work,
but also without adding bugs for already eliminated warnings.
The plan is to eventually eliminate https://neovim.io/doc/reports/clang/
by completely integrating it into the clang-tidy check.
Also add make and cmake targets `clang-analyzer` to run this check.
Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

This reverts commit e71c7898ca.
Triggering jobs on users own fork turned out to be not that useful, and
only necessary in rare moments. It's easier to adjust the CI scripts if
the users wants CI results before creating a pull request. It also
reduces the complexity of the CI code.
This will fix the failing release job.
Ubuntu 18.04 is incompatible with checkout action version 4, which
requires glibc 2.28+. This will bump the minimum glibc version required
to use the release versions to 2.31. People requring the older releases
can find them at https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases.
This partially reverts commit 7d0479c558.
The job has been particularly unstable when used with docker on
cirrus-ci, which is especially bad as it's meant to be a non-flaky and
simple test.
