[Seeking Volunteers] Add new builds to CacheLib

[therealgymmy]

Hi, we're looking for volunteers to add support for newer build platforms such as Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12.

You will need to add support for new platforms in https://github.com/facebook/CacheLib/tree/main/contrib

For example, prerequisite for ubuntu 22 is the same as ubuntu 18 (https://github.com/facebook/CacheLib/blob/main/contrib/build.sh#L166), which is specified by https://github.com/facebook/CacheLib/blob/main/contrib/prerequisites-ubuntu18.sh.

Hi! I would like to help as best as I can.
Do you have a list of all the platforms planned to support CacheLib?

Hi @vaavaav thanks for reaching out.
We hope we can have support for ubuntu 24 and the latest Fedora at least. The expectation would be you can create a script like this (https://github.com/facebook/CacheLib/blob/main/contrib/prerequisites-ubuntu18.sh), and wire it up into the main build script (https://github.com/facebook/CacheLib/blob/main/contrib/build.sh).

Then cachelib team will create a github action to run it.
