ci: use ubuntu-latest for release workflow#282
Merged
Conversation
The release job does not need a GPU to run its processes, but it was using the gpu-enabled runner. This runner also has an intense firewall, preventing it from accessing the node packages the release workflow needs. This changes uses the github-hosted ubuntu-latest instead.

This reverts commit 4dad26a. This commit switched to using ubuntu-latest for the release workflow instead of dealing with firewall issues on the blitzar vm runner. However, the release workflow now takes over an hour, because it needs to build cuda from scratch when entering the nix environment instead of taking advantage of the nix store (cache) on the blitzar vm runner. It will likely be faster to just squash the firewall issues.
