Update image to 24.04 LTS (originally was: 24.10)

The CI of geomodelatlas is failing as the 23.10 image cannot reach the package server

-> upgrade the image to the latest available ubuntu version

• Update XereceC to 3.3.0
• Download all sources from github. The atlas-vp1 pages are pretty much dead

Should we start tagging the ubuntu-geant4-image to use it in the GeoModel pipeline?

Tagging: @boudreau, @tsulaia, @mbandier, @rbianchi

Hi @jojungge , thanks for this update to the Ubuntu image!

For the Ubuntu version itself, I would leave @boudreau to comment because I don't use Ubuntu directly.

However, concerning the Coin/SoQt sources, instead of picking them from GitHub, for consistency I would rather use the same sources we use for the macOS Homebrew packages, stored on our geomodel EOS space:

https://gitlab.cern.ch/GeoModelDev/packaging/homebrew-geomodel/-/blob/master/Formula/geomodel-thirdparty-coin.rb?ref_type=heads#L6

(Of course, picking the same version from GitHub works too.)

Hi, the download of the package from the atlas web server failed therefore, I changed to github.

I didn't mean the atlas web server, but the GeoModel web space on EOS: that's the space where we store the sources for the macOS packages as well, and that works, you can try it directly:

https://geomodel.web.cern.ch/sources/coin-4.0.2-src.zip

P.S. I mentioned using those sources on EOS because that way, we are sure we use the same sources for everything. However, if we ensure we use the same version, we can pick them from GitHub, too; the final result does not change.

Hi again,

I started from @jojungge's MR here and updated Ubuntu to the latest LTS (Long Term Support) release, which is 24.04.

I also updated the Coin and SoQt builds to use the same sources and versions we use for the macOS packages, which are stored in the GeoModel EOS web space.

I also added the GoogleTest package to the image.

The pipeline passed: https://gitlab.cern.ch/GeoModelDev/ubuntu-geant4-image/-/pipelines/11149423

I would suggest to use that version. If @jojungge agrees, I would push my changes to this MR then merge it.

The new image will be used as base Ubuntu image to test the addition to GoogleTest support in GeoModel: GeoModel!416 (merged)

Best, --Ric.

Compare with previous version

After an offline discussion with @jojungge , we decided to move Coin and SoQt to GitHub sources because EOS seems to have had problems recently. Other projects observe disruptions in getting sources or packages from EOS when building images or running CI jobs.

I also updated the Ubuntu base image to 22.04, which is the latest LTS release, and added GoogleTest to the image.

• 08769308 - Update Coin and SoQt source path to latest GitHub settings

Compare with previous version

Apparently, the path of the Coin and SoQt sources on GitHub recently changed. I updated the Dockerfile to adapt to those new paths.

changed title from Update image to 24.10 to Update image to 24.04 LTS (originally was: 24.10)

The pipeline passed. I will merge this, so we can update MR GeoModel!416 (merged) with the new image and move on with the GoogleTest support
