CI: Please upgrade FairRoot and stdc++ in C++17 CI about r3broot

Yes, there is a PR for this #775 , but @kresan is still working on some details.

@kresan Are you also fixing the stdc++ version? As far as I know, this needs to be done in the container?

[kresan]

@YanzhaoW, if you have requirements on stdc++ version in CI, you need to come up with the container definition where you install your non-system gcc and use it for building of FairSoft and FairRoot. You can build it on top of existing def files from the #775. I will then put it in the right place on lxbuild07.gsi.de.

Number of tests in R3BRoot CI has grown and GSI internal machine lxbuild07 is not meant and is not suitable for that. On the long run R3BRoot should use GitHub runners.

In addition to that, gaining experience in writing and creating singularity containers is of great advantage when you go for runs on GSI Virgo cluster.

Thanks. I will try to do that. What is the version of singularity in lxbuild07?

[kresan]

singularity version 3.8.0

[jose-luis-rs]

Hello,
I guess we also need a file like this singularity exec /data.local2/kresan/debian10-apr22-v18.6.8-ucesb.sif
right?

[YanzhaoW]

@jose-luis-rs Yes, did you succeed to build the container from this .def file? I tried to build it both from my machine and from the remote server of sylab. Neither of them are successful during the compilation of FairSoft.

[YanzhaoW]

@kresan Could you explain to me what these lines do in .def file?

mkdir -p ~/.subversion
echo '[global]
http-proxy-host = proxy.gsi.de
http-proxy-port = 3128' > ~/.subversion/servers

[kresan]

Those are GSI-internal proxy settings for the subversion. Not necessary if one prepares container for the GitHub-hosted runner.

Side remark: subversion is needed during FairSoft build to check out some repositories.
