[fontforge-devel] FontForge CI broken

[Maxim I. <io...@us...>]

Hi Jeremy and Frederick,

It looks like the FontForge CI (GitHub actions) is currently half-dead. I
tried to resurrect it (see https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/pull/5317),
but with a very limited success.

I managed to pass the Windows pipeline with fixed gettext and disabled
pyhook tests, but MacOS 10 and Ubuntu 18 pipelines are still dead.

MacOS 10 and Ubuntu 18 actions are never activated, probably because the
environments don't exist anymore (see list of runners at
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/choosing-the-runner-for-a-job#choosing-github-hosted-runners),
and updated pipelines for MacOS 11 and Ubuntu 20 fail due to some issues of
environment.

Could you please take a look and maybe disable the problematic actions for
the time being? I'm trying to submit a minor fix, and it can't be done as
long as the CI is broken.

Thank you in advance,
 -- Maxim.
