Switch CI board manager URL to the CN package index#219
Merged
Conversation
The M5Stack board manager index at https://static-cdn.m5stack.com/resource/arduino/package_m5stack_index.json currently returns 404, which breaks the Arduino build CI for the m5stack:esp32 matrix entries. Switch to package_m5stack_index_cn.json, which is reachable (HTTP 200) and contains both platform versions used by the CI matrix (2.1.4 and 3.2.5). The package and tool download URLs it references (static-cdn.m5stack.com, m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com, dl.espressif.cn) were all verified reachable as well.
The CN index renames all tools with a "-cn" suffix but the toolsDependencies of older platforms (2.x and <= 3.2.1) still reference the pre-rename versions, so arduino-cli fails to install m5stack:esp32@2.1.4 with "tool version esp-2021r2-patch5-8.4.0 not found" (155 such stale entries in the index overall). Fetch the index in CI, rewrite those dependencies to their "-cn" equivalents, and use the patched file as a local (file://) index. Verified locally: dependency resolution succeeds and the toolchain download starts with the patched index.

Instead of hardcoding the CN index, keep the primary index URL in the matrix and fall back to the "_cn" variant only when the primary is unreachable. When the upstream index recovers, CI automatically returns to it with no further changes. The patch script runs on whichever index was fetched and is a no-op when the index is consistent. Verified locally: with the primary currently 404, the loop falls back to the CN index and the patch step fixes its 155 stale entries.

Summary
The M5Stack board manager index used by the Arduino build CI,
https://static-cdn.m5stack.com/resource/arduino/package_m5stack_index.json, currently returns 404, breaking allm5stack:esp32matrix entries.This PR makes the CI resilient to that outage without changing the matrix URLs:

When the upstream index recovers, CI automatically returns to the primary with no further changes.-cnsuffix, but thetoolsDependenciesof older platforms (2.x and <= 3.2.1) still reference the pre-rename versions, som5stack:esp32@2.1.4fails withtool version esp-2021r2-patch5-8.4.0 not found(155 such stale entries overall). A small script rewrites those dependencies to their-cnequivalents; it is a no-op on a consistent index. The fetched index is used locally viafile://.Verification
