We wanted to bump to 1.29 to continue to support mrustc bootstrapping, but on 1.29
there's a bug preventing us from compiling the lightning package only, thus parts
of lightning-net-tokio cause a compilation error.
The advantage of bumping the MSRV is an improved borrow checker which should
enable improved code quality, and not having jump through weird hoops sometimes
to get 1.22 working.
Docs seem to indicate this should only be required for private
repos, but we have builds failing claiming this needs to be
specified, so just set it manually.
Same setup than Travis except for removing
`rm -f target/debug/lightning-*` as I do not believe
such file would exist on a fresh run.
I have not setup caching at this stage. The library is
small so I don't think it'd be that necessary/helpful.
I'd recommend to let both CI run for a bit to compare
performance and stability. The CI setup is straightforward
so I do not foresee any issue with GitHub actions.
Once happy, Travis file can be removed and branch
protection checks can be updated to block on the GitHub
actions.
You can also check the [Coverage report](752a58bc04/lightning/src/chain) to ensure it is as expected.
