ioc-pmac's Issues

Better CI required for the ioc-template - AND ec-services-template

I've just had this build failure after adopting the latest ioc-template into ioc-pmac which I believe to be related to the ibek 1.7.0 update to the template. https://github.com/epics-containers/ioc-pmac/actions/runs/8146873609/job/22266338651#step:5:2443

I have confused things by making further changes to the template before trying to adopt it but I'm pretty sure it is the ibek changes that are having an issue here.

@GDYendell I think there is a bit of a problem with pushing changes to the template as it does not test that applying them to a repo works. I'm sure you tested them in the devcontainer but unfortunately it is the runtime stage that has failed.

I'm pretty sure the issue is that there is no globbing of the path passed to ioc extract-runtime-assets call. Best to fix this in ibek - but we also need to think about how CI could do a test update of a generic IOC repo. @coretl I think python copier already addresses this in some fashion??

Cross compile to target only

This generic IOC is supposed to only compile for the target when crosscompiling for RTEMS-beatnik.

I believe I had this working at some point but it appears not to be at the moment.

For this to work each support module should have VALID_BUILDS=Host in configure/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64.

This is supposed to happen in ibek-support/_global/install.sh.
