Besides being willing to contribute financially, see #38 I am able to offer server resources (Hetzner, Germany) and also my quarter century’s worth of XP as a sysadmin / DevOP.

I could also be tempted into testing but I don’t know if i have the time.

Great :)
(by the way I'm just about half an car hour away from your hoster).

What we need right now is a working CI with all the tests that the old gitlab one on f.d.o did.

I don't particularly care how exactly it's done, and it doesn't need to be set in stone for the next century - just anything we can get up and running quickly :)

I'm very good with builds, CI, etc.
If you'll point me to stuff needed I probably can help.

Run the suite inside test/ basically? With the Github CI tools or anything else?
Some of them probably need a GPU to run on I would guess?

Just have a look at the existing gitlab (not github) pipeline - that's the one been running on freedesktop.org

Sorry for the late answer guys. I’ve been traveling and have so-so kept up to date with the happenings. I will be back home on Tuesday.

From reading above and X11Libre/xserver#124: would setting up a Gitlab instance for you to use help you out?

Indeed it would. Can build one with kvm support ?

@metux the host runs on SmartOS which is a Illumos distribution. Although I can create VMs using KVM I am not sure if I can pass this through.

I’ll look into it.

Oh, then it would be great to have a Illumos build running right there :)

@jayjay73 @alkavan Thank you very much for your offer of assistance. We are looking for people to help us setting up continuous integration. One question: Are you still willing to help with that?

[callmetango]

This issue will be closed due to inactivity and lack of answers to the open question. If you still like to help out then please comment on this issue and it will be reopened.

[jayjay73]

Sorry I was out of the loop for a bit. The offer still stands. If you need hosting or DevOP stuff done, let me know.

Welcome back! Do you have any interest and/or experience in GitHub Actions?
