feat(release): update macos version used by github action

[ryancurrah]

MacOS Catalina is no longer supported by Apple or GitHub https://github.blog/changelog/2022-07-20-github-actions-the-macos-10-15-actions-runner-image-is-being-deprecated-and-will-be-removed-by-8-30-22. This PR updates the runner used for MacOS to Big Sur.

Issue: #19

The code change itself looks fine, but I seem to be having issues actually running it due to homebrew conflicts. Run log.

Error installing Python 3

==> Pouring python@3.10--3.10.9.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/2to3
Target /usr/local/bin/2to3
already exists. You may want to remove it:
  rm '/usr/local/bin/2to3'

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite python@3.10

To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite --dry-run python@3.10

Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/bin/2to3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/2to3
/usr/local/bin/idle3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/idle3
/usr/local/bin/pydoc3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/pydoc3
/usr/local/bin/python3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3
/usr/local/bin/python3-config -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3-config

At least, I think that's the relevant error?

Hrm yeah, that is interesting. I will look into it.

[ryancurrah]

Looks like this is a known recent issue actions/setup-python#577.

[ryancurrah]

I was able to get it working by removing the pre-existing symlinks before running brew upgrade. See the successful action here https://github.com/ryancurrah/lima-and-qemu/actions/runs/3745534709/jobs/6360069189.

Should we wait and see if GitHub will fix this issue or go ahead with the rm fix and remove it once actions/setup-python#577 is resolved?

Oh, thanks for identifying the issue in the runner images! Given that it was filed yesterday and being actively worked on, it's probably best to just wait for them to resolve it first? I'll schedule a reminder for myself in a week (if we haven't merged this PR by then). If they haven't fixed it in a week, we could just merge in your workaround.

Sounds good to me.

[ryancurrah]

@mook-as looks like this is the best solution for now. Others seem to be following suit and doing some variant of this fix in their actions.

[ryancurrah]

Im re-building this again and it is failing on a lot of new changes to the image. I'm fixing it now.

[ryancurrah]

Ok, now it builds again. https://github.com/ryancurrah/lima-and-qemu/actions/runs/3858396120
