Forgejo CI/CD Setup for Deb-Mock

🎯 CI/CD Implementation Complete

Successfully set up comprehensive CI/CD workflows for Deb-Mock using Forgejo Actions, based on the reference from apt-ostree.

📁 Workflow Files Created

1. Build Workflow (.forgejo/workflows/build.yml)

• Trigger: Push to main/develop branches, pull requests
• Purpose: Build and test the Deb-Mock package
• Features:
  • Python 3.12 setup
  • System dependencies installation (sbuild, schroot, debootstrap)
  • Virtual environment setup
  • Package installation and testing
  • Build artifacts creation
  • Coverage reporting

2. Test Workflow (.forgejo/workflows/test.yml)

• Trigger: Push to main/develop branches, pull requests
• Purpose: Comprehensive testing of all CLI commands and functionality
• Features:
  • CLI interface testing
  • Configuration system testing
  • Package management commands testing
  • Advanced build options testing
  • Chroot management testing
  • File operations testing
  • Unit tests execution
  • Package structure verification

3. Release Workflow (.forgejo/workflows/release.yml)

• Trigger: Push tags starting with v* (e.g., v1.0.0)
• Purpose: Create versioned releases
• Features:
  • Package building and validation
  • Release artifact creation
  • Tag information display

4. Update README Workflow (.forgejo/workflows/update-readme.yml)

• Trigger: After successful build/test workflows
• Purpose: Auto-update README with build status
• Features:
  • Timestamp updates
  • Build status integration

🔧 Forgejo-Specific Adaptations

Key Changes from GitHub Actions

1. Removed External Actions: Replaced actions/checkout@v4 with manual git clone
2. Simplified Setup: Used direct package installation instead of setup actions
3. Removed Artifact Uploads: Used simple listing instead of artifact uploads
4. Updated URLs: Changed from GitHub to Forgejo URLs in README

Forgejo-Compatible Syntax

# Instead of:
uses: actions/checkout@v4

# We use:
run: |
  git clone ${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }} .
  git checkout ${{ github.sha }}
