enricobuehler	5bd92dac5d	fix(ci): my gamescope gate withheld the host .deb it was supposed to protect ... The gate #135 added fails the job at the gamescope BUILD step. In deb.yml that step runs before "Publish to the Gitea apt registry" and "Attach the host .deb to the Gitea release", so failing it skipped both. Consequence on the v0.26.0 tag, and it is the worst thing in this release so far: the host .deb on the release is from 00:17 — re-point #1, BEFORE #136 revoked CAP_SYS_NICE. Every other .deb is from 08:29-08:31. So the published Debian host still runs `setcap cap_sys_nice=ep` in its postinst, which is exactly what makes the host unidentifiable to KWin and kills every KDE desktop session. A gate meant to protect the release withheld the fix for it and left the broken artifact in place. rpm.yml has the identical latent bug and only escaped it because Fedora went green: a gamescope failure there would skip the sysext image, the feed publish and the release attach, withholding the punktfunk RPMs and .raw images too. Both now warn at the build/package steps and gate as the LAST step of the job, after everything has published. A missing EXTRA must never stop a good artifact shipping — go red afterwards instead. Also: name noble's dependencies outright. `apt-get build-dep gamescope` gives it almost nothing (the distro has no comparable package), which is why this peeled one dep per CI cycle — wayland-protocols, then xdamage. The full set is derived from the Arch package's depends+makedepends, which is the build that demonstrably works, plus wlroots' own (it is a forced fallback subproject). One `apt-get` per name on purpose: a single transaction aborts wholesale on one unknown package, installing NOTHING and hiding the real gap behind a name typo. Per-package, best-effort, with the missing name echoed; the end-of-job gate is what actually decides. ⚠ Verification: both YAML files parse; every gamescope-touching `run:` block is `bash -n` clean with matrix placeholders substituted (9 blocks); the .deb glob matches build-gamescope-deb.sh's documented output (`dist/punktfunk-gamescope_<version>_<arch>.deb`) and the RPM glob excludes debuginfo/debugsource exactly as the attach loop above it does. The noble dep NAMES cannot be proven from macOS — that is what the next tag run decides, and it now decides it without holding the host .deb hostage.	2026-08-09 10:52:42 +02:00
