Type of Contribution
This is a CI / Workflow improvement
Current Behavior
The "nightly" builds of packages on NPM are only built when triggered manually.
New Behavior
The "nightly" builds of packages on NPM will be built each night at 1am and published if their contents have changed.
After building each package we compute a hash of the
distfolder. If that has changed since the last release, we update the version toX.Y.Z-nightly-branch-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-githash-disthashand publish.Each package gets its own 8-character SHA256 dist hash
Testing
It can't really be tested except by trying it.
Affected areas
It will mean there are more releases on NPM.
This will make it much easier to develop blueprints that depend on newly added features. It's designed to work well in cooperation with SuperFlyTV/sofie-demo-blueprints#90, which will apply the output of this to the demo blueprints and ensure they still compile.
