Native installation for Ubuntu 22.04

[chreekat]

On 22.04 / x86_64, the following commands should get p4c installed:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/p4lang:/latest/xUbuntu_22.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:p4lang:latest.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:p4lang:latest/xUbuntu_22.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_p4lang_latest.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install p4lang-p4c

-- https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ap4lang%3Alatest&package=p4lang-p4c

This is based on chreekat/p4lang-packages#2 . (I intend to move into that project into the p4lang organization.)

The instructions above pull from a new OBS project, home:p4lang:latest. It is a staging ground where I published new debs based on the latest tagged releases of pi, bmv2, and p4c. The fate of this new project is undecided.

All of this is preliminary. I just wanted to get the information out about the new packages. @jafingerhut if you have a chance to try it out and identify any problems or gaps, that would be great.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, is this x86_64 processor architecture only? Or would you expect it also to work for aarch64?

If only x86_64, that is fine. I will be able to try it out early next week after returning from my current travel.

Great question! I had started small with one distro × one architecture.

I just enabled aarch64. You can watch the progress at https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:p4lang:latest?arch_aarch64=1&blocked=1&broken=1&building=1&defaults=0&deleting=1&dispatching=1&failed=1&finished=1&locked=1&repo_xUbuntu_22_04=1&scheduled=1&signing=1&succeeded=1&unresolvable=1

I'm about to head to bed, but you should be able to see if it worked in 1-2 hours.

All the aarch64 packages seem to have built. The installation instructions are the same.
