Subject: [PATCH] Libretro: GitLab CI for the libretro buildbot (linux x64 +
 aarch64) (#9)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The libretro buildbot's linux nightlies are driven by a per-core
.gitlab-ci.yml on the git.libretro.com mirror, not by libretro-super
recipes — this adds one, modeled on flycast's, building yaps2_libretro.so
for linux x86_64 and aarch64 via the linux-cmake ci-templates.

The buildbot containers ship neither Clang nor the pinned third-party
libraries, so the job installs clang-17/lld-17 from apt.llvm.org and
reuses build-dependencies-runner.sh for the dependency set. The
ci-templates drive 'cmake --build --target ${CORENAME}_libretro', so a
yaps2_libretro custom target aliasing pcsx2-libretro is added; the .so is
picked up from the pcsx2-libretro/ build subdirectory via EXTRA_PATH.

Inert on GitHub — the GitHub Actions nightly is unchanged.

+# DESCRIPTION: GitLab CI/CD for libRetro (NOT FOR GitLab-proper)
+#
+# Builds yaps2_libretro.so on the libretro buildbot (git.libretro.com mirror)
+# for Linux x86_64 and aarch64. Inert on GitHub — the GitHub Actions
+# workflows under .github/workflows/ are the project's own CI.
+#
+# The buildbot containers ship no Clang and none of the pinned third-party
+# libraries, so before_script installs clang-17 from apt.llvm.org and reuses
+# .github/workflows/scripts/linux/build-dependencies-runner.sh to build the
+# same dependency set the GitHub nightly uses (shaderc, SDL3, zstd, lz4, ...).
