Note: use of GitHub Actions and Packages

Observations

GitHub Actions

• we use ubuntu@latest. nodejs add-on will be build based on ubuntu, and nodejs 12 (i.e. abi=72). npm rebuild may require.
• the runner is a non-root user. The inner container may require root to run commands.
• Setup Node action can install nodejs at a particular version. The node -v returns correct version. However, npm add-on does not seem to recognize it; and npm rebuild is run based nodejs @ latest.
• Cache action will add a cleanup step automatically. However, if some data volume is created with root, the Cache clean up may fail to remove it.

GitHub Packages

• npm scoped packages requires the namespace to be the account name. Therefore, we cannot publish @fabric-es scope to this repo directly. Instead, we publish to GitHub account at @fabric-es/*
• it require .npmrc , so that we do not require npm login
