GitHub is updating the version of Ubuntu used by the
ubuntu-latesttag, including removing some packages. What's worse is that we don't have an exact date, but it's supposed to happen sometime between Dec 5 and Jan 17.This could potentially result in difficult to predict failures to workflows, especially difficult to test if they run only on the
mainbranch and not as part of pull requests on feature branches.To prevent that from happening, we want to get ahead of that update and upgrade the version to
24.04right now for all "standard" GitHub workflows, incl.:check-can-merge.yml) - additional changes in this file may be present to align it with the latest template versiondependabot-auto-approve.yml) - additional changes in this file may be present to align it with the latest template versionstale.ymlorpr-cleanup.yml)For all other workflows, the change locks in the version to
22.04(which is whatubuntu-latestis set to right now) so teams can individually update them to24.04, verifying that everything continues to work as expected.Please make sure to create tickets in your backlog to schedule that work in before EOQ1 2025.
Note that we no longer recommend using the floating
ubuntu-latesttag going forward.Created by Sourcegraph batch change
