That information is probably quite obsolete: As GCC upstream uses git now, it might be possible to simplify the overall process. That proces never really worked out and was quite complicated anyway, as it required committers to locally merge the commit containing the .semaphore configuration files before pushing to github. In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea. The main difficulty in setting up CI for GDC is that we can't simply put CI configuration files in the toplevel folder, as that folder is under GCC's control. For CI which allows you to keep the configuration out of the repositories, this is not a problem. But for those requiring certain files in the top-level folder, it's more complicated. So that's why the old approach required merging a commit which includes the CI configuration. Maybe a better way is to automatically generate a new commit including CI configuration for each commit to be tested. This could probably be done with buildkite? Then trigger new build jobs for that auto-generated commit. The main difficulty there is integrating this into a somewhat nice workflow / interface. -- Johannes
