We want to ensure that pip packages required for building torch-mlir
should be included in the dependencies of torch-mlir, but we don't want
the pip packages required for _testing_ of torch-mlir to be included
among the dependencies. To be able to specify and install one set of
dependencies and not the other, this patch separates the pip packages
into two files: build-requirements.txt and test-requirements.txt.
This patch also updates references to the requirements.txt file so that
CI builds that run end-to-end tests install test-related pip
dependencies while everything else (including WHL builds) sticks to just
the build-related pip dependencies.
Despite this change, this patch should not affect a torch-mlir
developer's workflow. More precisely, since this patch makes the
top-level requirements.txt file refer to both build-requirements.txt and
test-requirements.txt files, a torch-mlir developer should be able to
continue referring to the requirements.txt file without any impact.
- Use v3 of actions/checkout, since the version we use (v2) uses
Node.js 12, which is deprecated by GitHub.
- Source the PowerShell venv sctipt (instead of the bash sript) since
the calling script is a PowerShell script. Without this, the build
doesn't use venv at all.
- Make the build dependencies in whl-requirements.txt (used by
setup.py) match those in requirements.txt. To that end, this patch
creates a build-requirements.txt that is referenced by
requirements.txt and whl-requirements.txt.
This patch makes a few small, but key, changes to enable ccache on
Windows. First, it replaces the hendrikmuhs/ccache-action action with
command line invocations to the ccache binary, since the action has two
bugs, one of which causes CI to refer to different ccache artifacts
before versus after the build on Windows whereas the other bug can
sometimes cause the action to incorrectly infer that the cache is empty.
Second, this patch slightly alters the cache key, so that our old cache
artifacts, which have grown too big, are eventually discarded in favor
of the new, smaller cache artifacts. Along the way, this patch also
keeps the RollPyTorch's cache artifact separate from the regular build's
cache artifact so as to keep these artifacts small, and also because the
RollPyTorch action is off the critical path for most contributors.
Finally, this patch makes small changes to the CMake file so that on
Windows, the ccache binary is added as a prefix, as recommended on the
[ccache Wiki](https://github.com/ccache/ccache/wiki/MS-Visual-Studio).
