If you're looking for another thing to thank #LLM techbros for: #OpenAI is now acquiring #Cirrus Labs, and #CirrusCI is going to shut down in <2 months.

Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI

Cirrus Labs announces an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Agent Infrastructure team.

Does anyone know how to clear the source cache on #CirrusCI? We renamed a branch and it appears to be trying to fast forward from the last successful build of the same branch name and failing. As a result, we can’t build the new branch at all in CI. Unfortunately, Cirrus does the git clone itself, rather than as an action step, so I don’t see a way of forcing a full reclone.

Today, helping @pathunstrom refresh #PPB so we can get back on the release train--dusting off everything, clearing any cobwebs, etc.

The Sphinx docs no longer build in #CirrusCI. Looks like they're injecting a locale setting the container is unprepared to deal with.

Hoping they get back to me.

I've started transferring all my projects' #FreeBSD testing from #CirrusCI to #GithubActions. "Ooh you dirty liar!" I hear you shout. "They only support Linux, Mac and Windows". Well, you're right, sort of. They do only support those, but I'm not a dirty dirty liar. You see, there's also this third-party action <https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action#readme> which lets you run your stuff in a #NetBSD, FreeBSD or #OpenBSD VM. It's a dirty dirty hack and I love it.

In case you didn't know, you may use #CirrusCI on #GitHub to test your your software against #FreeBSD (usually people use #Travis but it does not offer FreeBSD environment, AFAIK).
