Hello list. The tcpdump group repositories used to rely mainly on travis-ci.org for free continuous integration. For many years Travis CI GmbH had been making an outstanding contribution to the worldwide open source community, so let's thank all the people who at the time made travis-ci.org possible and kept it available, and many of whom lost their job after the business was sold. The current owner of Travis CI no longer provides sustained free service to open source projects. I have paid enough attention to verify that this fact currently stands for both travis-ci.org and travis-ci.com. I have also tried the paid subscription, considered the level of service received and the monthly cost, and had not developed enough interest in becoming a permanent subscriber. Necessity is the mother of invention, so Francois-Xavier had restructured the CI builds to work through the matrix permutations faster (especially on macOS with its slow bootstrapping) and to be more portable between CI service providers. Which made it easier for me to migrate most builds from Travis CI to Circle CI, and to make FreeBSD CI builds cover the same matrix as Linux and macOS ones. Some minor bugs and rough edges still probably remain in the new tooling, but it should be worked out in the course of subsequent development work. The Travis CI subscription will cease in early March (unless there is a sponsor willing to pay 82.80 USD per month). At this time the impact of that would be the following: * Linux on arm64 * Linux on ppc64le * Linux on s390x To me keeping these does not seem to be as important as other ongoing work, but if I have enough spare time later, I might try rigging up a standalone arm64 CI instance, just to learn one more aspect about it in the process. That said, if you have suggestions in addition or instead of that, please make them on the list to be considered. Thanks. -- Denis Ovsienko
