Unified action for installing Linux deps by ShaharNaveh · Pull Request #7381 · RustPython/RustPython · GitHub

Followup on #7379

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Centralized Linux build dependency installation in CI into a reusable composite action, replacing inline apt-get steps across jobs.
- Jobs can now request specific toolsets (multilib, musl, cross‑compiler, clang) via flags, enabling conditional package installation per job and reducing duplication.
- Minor CI formatting tweak with no functional impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new composite GitHub Action at .github/actions/install-linux-deps/action.yml to conditionally install Linux packages via boolean inputs, and refactors .github/workflows/ci.yaml to replace inline apt-get installs with calls to that action in relevant CI jobs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
New composite action .github/actions/install-linux-deps/action.yml	Adds a composite GitHub Action exposing boolean inputs (gcc-multilib, musl-tools, gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu, clang) and a shell step that conditionally constructs an apt-get package list and runs sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends when inputs are true.
CI workflow updates .github/workflows/ci.yaml	Replaces inline sudo apt-get update/install steps with uses: ./.github/actions/install-linux-deps invocations in multiple jobs (x86 32bit, aarch64, wasm-wasi), passing feature flags; minor whitespace adjustment near Wasmer setup.

Poem

🐰 I tumbled through CI with a twitchy nose,

One tiny action where the package list grows.
Flags like little carrots, picked when they're due,
Now installs are tidy — compact and true. 🥕

In @.github/workflows/ci.yaml:
- Around line 219-224: The workflow references the wrong local action path
"./.github/actions/install-linux/deps" which will fail; update all occurrences
of that uses: string (the three places in the file) to point to the actual
action directory name "./.github/actions/install-linux-deps" (matching the
folder/action.yml file), i.e., replace the hyphen-mismatched path used in the
steps that install gcc-multilib and musl-tools so GitHub Actions can locate the
action.
