[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] ci: doc: Remove Ubuntu bionic

[Petr Vorel]

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bionic EOL 3 years ago (2023-04). Repositories were
publicly available until now, remove it to fix CI.

Exact error is missing Packages file

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-backports/InRelease  Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.82 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/universe/binary-amd64/Packages  Connection timed out [IP: 91.189.92.23 80]

which causes gcc not being installed.

Although repository has Packages.gz and Packages.xz (therefore it
should somehow work or it might be GitHub Actions issue) we don't need
to keep bionic (we have older distro openSUSE Leap 42), which we still
use for testing SLE1-SP2 build).

Hi all,

I'd like to merge tomorrow.
@Li just FYI that CI is being handled.

Kind regards,
Petr

Hi!
Shouldn't we replace that with a bleeding edge version of Ubuntu? Or
with some other distro?

I think that we should keep the number of distros in the CI constant and
just replace the expired ones with newer codestreams.

I originally wanted not to add any distro to shorten the runtime, but
adding 24.04 LTS noble (latest LTS) makes sense. I've sent v2.

Kind regards,
Petr
