> Hello list.
>
> Below you can find a digest of some works done on the CI infrastructure
> during past few months.
>
> First of all, the illumos-amd64 Buildbot worker has been replaced.  It
> used to be an OpenIndiana VM from a commercial hosting provider.
> Several months ago the VM started to have frequent random reboots and
> there was no solution to the problem.  Now it is an OmniOS zone hosted
> and managed by Andy Fiddaman of the OmniOS project (thank you!), and the
> worker is stable again.  Other useful effects of this switch are
> upgrades to GCC (from 10.3 to 11.2) and Clang (from 9.0 to 11.1, 13.0
> and 14.0).
>
> Likewise, linux-armv7l has been switched from Raspbian 10 to Ubuntu
> 22.04, which has upgraded GCC (from 8.3 to 11.2) and Clang (from 7.0 to
> 14.0).  It still runs on AArch64 hardware, which makes it useless for
> the purpose of unaligned access testing (AArch64 handles unaligned
> access in hardware).  If anybody is willing to host this worker on an
> actual ARMv7l hardware, please let me know.
>
> openbsd-amd64 has been upgraded from OpenBSD 7.0 to 7.1, which resulted
> in a Clang upgrade as well (from 11.1 to 13.0).
>
> Two NetBSD workers have been updated to more recent pkgsrc
> releases/snapshots, although without any notable side effects.
