Major modularisation of version management workflow, reducing update-versions.yml from 580+ lines to 117 lines by extracting logic into four focused composite actions. New actions provide clean separation of concerns: - check-nodejs-versions: queries Node.js release schedule for supported versions - check-deadsnakes-python: finds available Python versions in deadsnakes PPA - update-build-matrix: handles version comparison and file updates - create-pull-request: manages git operations and Forgejo API interactions Build matrix restructured to handle Ubuntu 25.04's lack of deadsnakes support by using includes rather than excludes, simplifying future LTS automation. This refactoring eliminates 470+ lines of embedded Python and shell scripts from the workflow, improving maintainability and enabling reuse across projects.

# Check Node.js Versions Action
|
|
|
|
A Forgejo/GitHub Actions composite action that queries the official Node.js release schedule to find
|
|
currently supported versions.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Check Node.js versions
|
|
id: node-check
|
|
uses: ./.forgejo/actions/check-nodejs-versions
|
|
|
|
- name: Display results
|
|
run: |
|
|
echo "LTS versions: ${{ steps.node-check.outputs.lts-versions }}"
|
|
echo "All supported versions: ${{ steps.node-check.outputs.live-versions }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Outputs
|
|
|
|
| Output | Description | Example |
|
|
|--------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `lts-versions` | Space-separated list of Node.js LTS versions | `18 20 22` |
|
|
| `live-versions` | Space-separated list of all supported Node.js versions | `18 20 22 24` |
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
1. Queries the official Node.js release schedule from GitHub
|
|
2. Filters for currently supported versions (between start and end dates)
|
|
3. Excludes odd-numbered versions (development/unstable releases)
|
|
4. Identifies which versions are LTS
|
|
5. Returns sorted lists of version numbers
|
|
|
|
## Example workflow usage
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: Build with dynamic Node.js versions
|
|
on: [push]
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|
check-node:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
outputs:
|
|
lts-versions: ${{ steps.check.outputs.lts-versions }}
|
|
live-versions: ${{ steps.check.outputs.live-versions }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- id: check
|
|
uses: ./.forgejo/actions/check-nodejs-versions
|
|
|
|
build-lts:
|
|
needs: check-node
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
node: ${{ fromJSON(format('[{0}]', replace(needs.check-node.outputs.lts-versions, ' ', ','))) }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Build with Node.js ${{ matrix.node }}
|
|
run: echo "Building with Node.js ${{ matrix.node }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Only returns even-numbered versions (stable releases)
|
|
- LTS versions are only included after their LTS start date
|
|
- Version numbers are returned without the 'v' prefix
